A Grand Day Out

In company with members of Ivybridge Camera Club, twelve of us spent Saturday at the Westcountry Wildlife Park (http://www.wcwpc.co.uk) near Lifton.

"We see no foxes!"

The Paparazzi getting serious with polecats!

An abundance of captive British wildlife were around for us to photography.  While I'm not a fan of taking pictures of captive wild creatures - I have to admit it does make the task of building up a portfolio of pictures much easier.  When the little set-ups are carefully constructed such as it appears that the animals are indeed living 'wild and free' - it does make the whole thing more enjoyable.

Scottish wildcats?  What wildcats?

Creeping up on the wild boars!

We were lucky enough to have the services of an experienced photographer.  Launceston Camera Club (http://www.launcestoncameraclub.co.uk) member, Chris Robbins (http://www.chrisrobbins.co.uk) was on hand to guide us through the day.  His website is well worth a visit and is really inspirational.

Thanks to Ivybridge Camera Club for organising this day out, fixing the weather so efficiently - and all involved with the Westcountry Wildlife Park!
