Thats a real fun shot of the weasel Simon. They are real fun characters!
I think that is a great Weasel shot - full of action, great stuff!
Well done, you got the Weasel, I just got a blur! Good 'Creeper as well.
Hi Simon.
I too like the Weasel shot. As you put it "Your Attempt" is pretty good to me. It's a good acion shot.Well done. Nice selection of birds too.
Great shots especially like the Goldcrest taken last week. Can you let me now what equipment you are using.?
Hi Mike, I use a Canon 40D DSLR with a Canon 100-400mm lens.
