Yesterday we went to Marwell Zoo, near Winchester, to get some practice in for our honeymoon to Kenya!
We got some really good shots, and the weather was absolutely amazing! Definitely a shorts and vest kind of day! The animals all behaved as well (except for the tigers, who weren’t feeling it yesterday).

It has made me so unbelievably excited to see some of these incredible animals in the wild! We will be travelling around four or five different reserves, so should have loads of opportunity to get some amazing shots. Dave has bought a new lens especially for the trip! It should be the holiday of a lifetime, and I am counting the days (36 to go!). It was great to go out with our cameras though. We used to do it a lot, but struggle to find the time nowadays. I have also lost a lot of motivation since a bad experience a couple of years ago, so it felt good to take some “proper” photos again. Hopefully this will get me back in the swing of things, as I do really miss it.
Yesterday was our 3rd trip to Marwell. It’s only about an hour away from us, and is by far the best zoo we have visited together. The animals all have decent sized enclosures, and all look really well looked after. It’s well worth the money! If any readers ever want a recommendation for something to do in the Hampshire and Dorset area, Marwell is a must!
Unfortunately we had to leave all of the animals there though, and are both back to work tomorrow (I went back on Wednesday but have that Sunday night feeling…). Hope you’ve all had a good weekend – especially if you’ve been in the Poole/Bournemouth area, with the Bournemouth Air Show!
