Dublin Zoo

[shrapnel]

I've never been a big fan of zoos so i haven't been to one in about fifteen years, but on a nice spring day, we decided to go for a walk and having heard lots of good things of Dublin zoo, we decided to try it out. I have to say, it was GREAT!!! and all this because i had my beloved D70 with my nikor 70-300 lens. It was so much fun taking pictures of all these animals, it's the first time 'i ve really had a chance to play around with that lens and after all the bad reviews i'd read about it, well i was very pleasantly surprised.
In all fairness, i could have stayed there all day just snapping away, but the tired legs of a pregnant woman, and sheer despair at hearing me say'' just one more" for the hundredth time won over and we left happy and impressed by a lot of what this zoo has to offer (even though a few pens were a bit small for my liking).
Anyway, here is a little selection of what i did that day.

PS: A bit of useless trivia: Did you know that the MGM lion that roars before their films was born in Dublin Zoo?
