Take a thick coat!!

Don't expect to get good shots of the lions or tigers as they have the problem of fences (not as much of a problem as if they didn't have any though). The non-glamourous animals will probably give you the best shots - vaguely remember otters as giving the best shots when I went there and they are entertaining to watch as well!

You've picked a good day - it should be quiet so you won't have any of the public littering your pictures.

It's half term !(well this side of the Pennines anyway).

Ahh bugger!!

You've picked a bad day - go when there's no-one there!

don't think anyone noticed I may have got away with that!
