Took some shots on a fleeting trip to the 'Cotswold Wildlife Park' near Burford. The first time that I came here was at least 20 years ago and I've been several times since. However, because of their mainly nocturnal nature, this is the first time that I have seen the Red Panda's awake and moving around. Well worth the wait, what a beautiful creature :)

Thank you for your lovely comment, it really rings true to me :)

I've been going here for the last twenty three years, first with my children and now I go back after taking up photography. We always used to joke about how the empty pen with the sign saying "Red Panda" was a bit of a con, I can't remember getting more than just a few fleeting sights of a panda in all that time.

This visit was different; I went to walk past the familiar 'empty pen' only to find a lovely Red panda walking along the branches of the trees. I was so happy :)
