Whipsnade is set in 600 acres in the Bedfordshire countryside.
Mostly the area is "Managed" some of it however is left to grow wild.
I usually go hunting the BIG stuff, with a 7DII & 100-400 mkII is lens.
Today was no different, so more close up than Macro, Next time I'm takeing the macro set up
Mostly record shots I guess...
