Big cats and little cats.

The first snow fell on the CairnGorm Mountains this weekend and it has been very chilly at night with temperatures in single figures during the day.
Studied the weather forecast intently and today looked good enough to go for a drive and visit the Highland Wildlife Park near Kincraig just beyond Aviemore. So armed with a picnic and all the photo gear off we drove in the sunshine. We were really looking forward to seeing some new arrivals - 3 new tiger cubs born on 11 May this year, a baby snow monkey,an elk and bison calf and "Mercedes" the polar bear. Unfortunately the weather forecast turned out to be completely wrong and the rain fell down harder the nearer we got to the Wildlife Park. This was not good photo-taking weather so we turned round and came back home where our wildlife was very pleased to welcome us back home. We shall try another day soon.
