We went to spend the day with Catherine (Richard's Goddaughter), her little brother Christopher and their parents. Despite the rain we headed off to Colchester Zoo and spent a very enjoyable day.
Technical details: Because the weather was bad, most of the photos were taken at ISO400, and so have lots of noise - and my usual noise reduction tricks didn't seem to work too well without destroying the furryness of the fur. Also, almost all were taken through glass without any filters, so there's lots of reflections as well.
