Too Hot To Hop

[Ryewolf]

Blackpool Zoo has an area called Wallaby Walkabout, although the day I visited it was very hot (for the UK)so they were neither walking or hopping...

I think these two are both Red Kangaroos....

Beautiful photos, Geoff. Those Red Kangaroos look pretty happy lying around in all that green grass. Usually their surroundings match their coats.

How hot was it?

Thanks Cheryl, these were taken mid summer, it's one thing you'll notice when visiting the UK is that it's very green, we don't get mega hot summers or extreme cold winters.

The zoo is providing you with many a good subject Geoff !

...you seemed to get closer to them than we did, the ones in Oz were more grey than anything else! although we did walk is a field with them about 15 foot away.

Thanks Denis, I did use my Sigma 150-600mm lens which helps....
