Scottish Wildcat

It was a nice day so I ran away to the Zoo.  I'm a member but I've not been for ages and I don't really know why as I love being there.  

I was lucky enough to see the two Binturong kittens but not fortunate enough to see them do anything more active than twitch in their sleep - which was cute anyway.  As i loitered a young lady arrived and began sketching them.  We chatted as we pursued our individual artistic  activities.  She is a student at the city's Art School and this was an assignment.  She was not happy about having to use an A3 sketch pad (they had been told to) and I could see how unwieldy it was as she tried to sketch whilst trying to see the critters past the reflections in the glass. 

I was also lucky enough to see some of the Scottish Wildcat [SWC] kittens [which ARE actually called "kittens"]. See above.

At just 7°C it was rather chilly standing about despite being well prepared.  Cold hands maketh the photographers job difficult!
Fate intervened when my camera's memory card filled up.  I was happy to have an excuse to leave!  I didn't see any of my usual zoo friends - either staff or visitors.  I was happy to also get some good shots of the Pandas and Rhinoceros.
