Ling Ling? Is that the Panda? By the time I got around there it was getting dark and the area was closed off...maybe they have an early bed time??

Yes, that was it. Ling Ling the giant Panda.

Sorry, I was rude. I meant to say "nice pictures", but it came out as "nice lens". Sorry about that.

I thought it was a meercat.

Dont think the spelling matters very much execpt to the search engines, but seeing as it is a southern african species (Kalahari desert etc) it is more likely than not to have been named by German colonists in the 17th or 18th centuries -- so instead of using 'c' as people of english-descent might do, they'd have used 'k', and the name and spelling stuck

Cheers,
Geoff.

Love the last one especially - the one eyed flamingo. Terrific bokeh as you already pointed out, and wonderful composition. Excellent!

Keep up the good work!
