But it was a little Robin that stole the show, the Tigers were fed a nice joint of meat, and Kirani the female tucked into her lunch, only for a little Robin to appear and creep closer and closer to the Tigers jaws, before nipping in quickly to grab titbits that were falling off the joint.
It was an amazing thing to watch and shows how brave these little birds are, or how desperately hungry they get in the depths of winter.
The shot below I am really proud of, the Robin perched ready to take his chance with the Tigers head in the background.
It is an excellent shot, Gary. Not many opportunities to get that!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant shots of the Lions/lioness. Chester zoo is becoming a great attraction.
ReplyDeleteA once in a lifetime chance with the Robin there Gary. You took it splendidly and the other images are of course just brilliant.
ReplyDeleteWonderful series, congratulation. Robin together with the tiger really lovely. Like a giant and a dwarf :)
ReplyDeleteTiger has unbelievable teeth on pic# 5. Thanks for sharing these photos.
Greetings, Miklos
What gorgeous photos! And that little bird, unafraid and waiting for tidbits. Perhaps it knows that big cat isn't interested in bird when it can have so much meat? The sunlight and the snow worked well for you in all these photos :)
ReplyDeleteAnother excellent series would be something of an understatement Gary, and the Robin images are unique to me.
