Anyone who has ever seen thses guys at close quarters cannot help but fall for them - they really are the cutess little things.

Gladly when I visited Sunday there was not the hoards of togs tht spoilt last year's visit - this year it seemed a much more civilised & smaller crowd.

I nearly didn't come back with any shots though as I had 3 batteries die on me after just 15 shots...I am hoping it's the batteries and not anything major.

Morning Al - Beautiful shot, there were loads of Togs there on Thursday, and we were all asked to keep moving along by the wardens.

Hope you are recovering, my feet are still aching, it was a lot to cram into a few hours, but I'd love to go again in a couple of weeks, and next time we will know our way round.

Well done and hope your batteries have'nt died on you, I had to buy a new one last week !

They have an expression of seriousness but as soon as they move they make you happy. I hope your battery problems are small and you work it out Alan.

Magic shot. These guys are so outrageously photogenic, and this shot is certainly a brilliant example what with the super use of DOF t isolate the subject. Cheers again, Andrew.
