what animal would you like to photograph most

Hi I know its wild about Britain and all but, What animal(S) would you like to photograph most in the entire world?
Mine are the Meerkat and Komodo Dragon
because i like the way the meerkats are a big family and look out for each other. And I like the Komodo dragon because its the most powerful lizaed in the world. One bite your dead, it can run at surprising speeds and its an impressive lookin brute.

Salt water crocs in and around Kununurra on the mighty Ord River or the Fitzroy, in my spare time there I could concentrate on the Pheasant Coucal.

Wolves, no hesitation. The few hours I spent watching them at Secret World got me even more hooked than I already was. I could just spend days with them.

I'd also like to photograph the Great White Sharks jumping to catch Sea Lions

Re: what animal would you like to photograph most

In the UK I'd love to be able to see Golden Eagles close enough to photograph them, outside of the UK my dream is to watch Polar Bears in Svalbard.

I would love to see turtles laying their eggs in the sand or any creatures on the Galapagos Islands.

Re: what animal would you like to photograph most


Red Deer in the scottish highlands or Marmots in the Tirol.
I know they are not the same but both hold an appeal for me.

Re: what animal would you like to photograph most

For me it would have to be the Badger, I've been Badger watching, but I'm yet to see one.

Re: what animal would you like to photograph most

Would have to be Barn Owl...am extremley envious of one of the Countryfile calendar winners who photographed 3 perched on an old window. Have never seen one let alone take a photograph!

Re: what animal would you like to photograph most

Definitely Badgers for me. The problem is I don't have enough spare time to find a sett and visit regularly enough for them to get used to my presence.

Re: what animal would you like to photograph most

Two Snow Leopards pouncing on a mountain goat in heavy snow would just about do it for me, some shot that would be.

Leopards, I think they're amazing animals, beautiful and so strong.

Re: what animal would you like to photograph most

This winter my aim is a good shot of a Ptarmigan in its winter plumage. An Amur leopard would be nice but I think I'm too much of a realist.

Re: what animal would you like to photograph most

In this country either I would love to get a flight shot of either a White-tailed or Golden Eagle (both would be great)

Abroad a flight shot of a Lammergeier with Wallcreeper coming second.

A mustilid. Any species but preferably leaping about.

Re: what animal would you like to photograph most

Anything I haven't photographed yet - Badger (although I have seen several), kingfisher, Roe deer, Pine Marten, golden eagle (saw one in Scotland this year but too far away to snap). The list goes on....
