There is no need to travel to an exotic private reserve to see these guys, I have them in my local reserve just down the road from me. I went out yesterday morning for the first time in ages, and came across a huge family of Meerkats foraging for their breakfast. I managed to capture quite a few different poses and behaviour, and quite liked this pose with my avian techniques kicking in with this nice HA ( head angle ). Taken early morning captured from my car.
