Today they were fed at around 11:30. By 12:15, Timoshenka had retired to the princely tower to rest.
Pavel Burov, Wow, so it turns out Timosha had brunch today, not dinner! 😁👌🏻
Pavel, thank you for your Tim feature! I’ve already really gotten used to it and look forward to it every time 😊
Timosha has never had so many great photos before! Pavel, this is awesome!

At one point I tried to find out what time Timoshenka is fed. It turned out that it’s always at the same time. Namely, at different times.
Timosha is fed at different times.
Current hypothesis: they do this deliberately to reduce the animals’ nervous tension. Here we remember Novosibirsk and the behavior of manuls starting at around 15:00. Mild unease. 15:30. The manuls have taken up observation posts and twitch nervously at the sight of any movement in the direction from which the keeper will come.
Now I’m starting to think that in Moscow they somehow managed to implement irregular feeding. If so, that’s very cool.

Thank you! I’m trying. Two competing processes are in a complex dynamic equilibrium:
1. Each time, stricter and stricter filters when selecting photos for publication.
2. Each time, more and more successful shots, because with every day of shooting I get to know Timoshenka better and better. I don’t know how, but I’ve already learned to know in advance how many seconds it will take before he comes out of the little house. Or which way he’ll go from the bushes. Or whether, coming down from the roof along the wall he shares with the golden eagle, he’ll turn onto the stairs to the left, or go straight along the ramp to the stump.
A successful manul photo is:
1) 20% coming to the zoo with a camera (this is where almost everyone fails);
2) 20% patience and readiness to stand and wait no matter what;
3) 20% knowledge of the kitty. His habits, routes, behavioral quirks, favorite resting places, gorong-goronga (this is almost the **most** important thing), etc.
4) 20% luck and good fortune;
5) 19% technical craftsmanship (including the willingness to lie in the dust and drop to your knees in a puddle);
6) and 1% magic. Some secret glue that holds everything together.
Right now I’m working on points 3 and 4 😀
Pavel Burov, What a clever fellow you are! Soon Timofey will teach you how to catch a quail)))
helga ingvar, Oooo. Catching a quail. A dream!
