grizabella Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Love the wombat and the last koala photo! That's lovely that you can help out with enrichment, it's pretty awesome seeing animals enjoying something you've done for them. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 It was pretty fun watching scaredy Cinta barrel straight up to the new clam shell pool... but the even better part was watching the face on her keeper... a huge grin that said we found something that Cinta obviously isn't scared of... lol! As far as we know, Cinta hasn't seen one before... ... and the keeper loves the nice big carboard boxes I brought too... of which I can get a pretty steady supply of from work... yay! The Tamarins and Marmosets were all given pretty coloured mobiles today too (the keeper brought them) - and they had a great time making them jangle... lol! You are going to love the latest Tamarin baby pics I got today grizabella - one little one has decided it can run and climb by itself! Too cute for boots! T.

Lady Flying Furball Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Gawd...congratulations on stunning shots and that the owner is supporting you! They really couldn't ask for better potential advertising pics :) Please enlighten moi to what gear you are using :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm using a Canon 60D with a Canon 100-400mm L lens. Sometimes I will use a Tamron 18-270mm lens if I am too close for the big lens. The animals are a lot closer at Symbio than at a lot of places... and I'm loving that a lot! T.

Roova Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Wow...such great shots. How cute is the curious baby starting to explore away from his parents! Wonderful shots, thanks for sharing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thanks Roova... It's been great fun watching the little Cotton-Top Tamarin babies grow up... they are completely adorable little critters. Watching Cinta run directly at the clam shell pool I donated was a huge buzz too... she also jumped off the platform and ran over to the fence earlier in the day when I was telling her how beautiful she was. I was so enthralled by what was happening there that I didn't even think to get pics of her running towards me me. She wasn't showing aggression, just curiosity at this strange person calling her name and talking to her... unlike Jalur who hissed at me a couple of weeks ago when he came over to the fence... lol! I suppose that was better than him spraying on me, as he's wont to do when he doesn't like something... errr! The new Reptile House is nearly finished, as is the new Koala Habitat - and the lion, cheetah, and lemur habitats will be started on soon... very exciting!! T.

Roova Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Sigh...just amazing! They're all so good but I love that last one. It's amazing when there's a dark background how much the picture pops! Hopefully they're letting you in free now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdierikx Posted October 29, 2013 Author Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) The Cotton-Top Tamarins always photograph very nicely - when they sit still for 5 seconds... lol! Busy little tykes they are... ... and yes - I get in free at Symbio... but I always give them a usb stick full of photos to use in any way they see fit every time I visit. It's my way of giving something back for all of their amazing work to provide a place that is just so nice to visit. T.

tdierikx Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 A bit of a shameless plug, but Symbio need 10,000 Facebook Likes by March 1st... and you go into a draw to meet their Tigers up close and personal... how cool is that? Here's the offer post on Facebook... (and if you comment that Tracey Dierikx recommended the like from you, I get in the draw too... and touching a Tiger is on my bucket list... *hint hint*) I'll be your BFF if you click below and then Like the page... pretty please... with a big fat cherry on top! https://www.facebook.com/symbiozoo They don't spam with continuous updates either, so don't think your feed is going to be filled up with Symbio postings...
