Golden Cat - 2nd August 2014

A very nice shot indeed to be precise this is a Tibetan Golden Cat (Pardofelis temminckii tristis)

Very difficult to get a decent shot of this, was sat under a tree for most of the day and the enclosure was very well planted.

Beautiful photo!!

Indeed, this just makes getting a good view of them all the more rewarding!

Luckily I have the patience to wait as well, I do get frustrated when people walk up to an enclosure look around for 10 seconds and walk off because they can't see anything. I was stood around the Golden Cat and Leopard Cat enclosures for most of the time I was there as I really wanted to get a decent photo of both and although not 100% happy with both the photos I got of Leopard Cat and Golden Cat it gives me a reason to go back to Exmoor to try and get better photos

This is a great photo. All you need to do is bump up the contrast and it will be stellar.
