The Cat Survival Trust in the UK [link] recently published their spring newsletter [link]

If you're after some big cats to photograph then it is worth considering a visit. Unlike zoos and wildlife parks, this isn't freely open to the public and needs arrangement in advance. It does mean you get better access to the cats, after a health and safety warning of course! Details of people arranging photo days are in the newsletter. Personally I prefer Mark Tiller as he is local to the site he has more flexibility in running smaller groups, which means more photo chances than with bigger groups.

Anyway, what's there? The site wasn't designed with photography in mind, so you do have some work to do. That or brush up on your photoshop skills. Rather than using words, how about examples of what myself and others have taken there?

One more tip if you are thinking of visiting CST. Not far away is Paradise Wildlife Park [link] which also has a large selection of big cats. It will be down to chance what you may see them doing, but with so many on site you're bound to find someone posing for you. It is definitely worth staying a night and visiting on another day also. I could feature from there too, but this would turn into a very long journal post if I did...
