Thanks! Given that was taken through glass at about 30 feet away, I'm very very pleased with the performance of the 5D with a 28-135IS on the end of it.

I was kicking myself at the time for not taking the 70-200L, but actually the end results seem to be very acceptable - such is the advantage of a full frame 12.7MP sensor I suppose?

Here is three more of him

I like the way his mate's looking at him, thinking "stop pratting about Jerry"

I went to Monkey World shortly after it first opened, about 15 years ago (I think). It was brilliant then, so I bet it's even better now.

It's a great day out - we spent around 4 hours there.

I'm sure the Discovery TV has helped them (ala Longleat with Animal Park) but given the job they do that is no bad thing.

If anyone is in Dorset it is a great day to spend, and the best £10 per person you can possibly spend supporting their work.
