Went to Whipsnade Zoo, near Dunstable, today, a good opportunity to give my new lense (Canon 70-200 f2.8 II USM) a good run out, or so I thought. A few minutes before we arrived it decided to start raining, so tried to brave it, but then heavens opened and we ended up spending the first 40 minutes sat in a shelter next to the bears (who subsequently weren’t visible to see).  So, we headed back to the gift shop and bought some umbrella’s.

We walked round depserately trying to keep my camera dry as we tried to snap the animals…
