Shepreth Animals - August 2015

Last year I visited Shepreth Wildlife Park in September and the animals took over my monthly photo-blog. This year my visit was at the start of August and this photo-blog post is voluntarily given up entirely to the wonderful animals. If you think there are too many photos here, please bear in mind that I originally took almost 750 photos. This is just a small sample of the gloriousness that is Shepreth in full display.























Should you be wondering about the order of these photos, they are primarily displayed in the order they were taken during the course of a full day. I visited some of my favourite animals many times during the day, so you will find photos of the same animals in various positions within this post and in various stages of wakefulness, activity and sleeping.
