I like the fact that Channel 4 News really gets up his nose, he's very snarky about the best, award winning, News programme in the UK.

Grey squirrel caught in late afternoon autumn sunshine trying to hide in amongst the branches of our walnut tree. Plump and either pregnant or feeding kits.
Nikon D3S ISO 3200 as the light was low but the brief sunshine gave me a shutter speed of 1/5000 at F4.

Deserted Scottish beach at sunset in 2010, the Isles of Eigg and Rum in the distance.
Pristine sand, not a mark on it, which is remarkable considering I was with 2 dogs.
Nikon D700 & 20mm @ f18 1/8th second and I must have used a tripod.

Diving Red Kite, taken in Scotland about 10 years ago, hand held 600mm. It was taken at a feeding station and is one of a few decent shots from around 400 frames! They're fast and difficult to track but the light saved me in the end.

Interesting that RFK Junior is on the poop side of things. He's no scientist and I'm guessing he doesn't embrace statistics and mathematics either 😱

Different subject, Highland Cows (or Coos) but still ginger. They were completely focussed on our dogs that my partner had on their leads quite a way behind me so I was able to get quite close without stressing them.

This one has a magnificent tail and I managed to get it all in the frame.
Just put some food out, they'll show up, eventually.

Chicken picture - full length this time. I believe the breed is Booted Bantam due to the feathery legs. We had about a dozen, they bred and we had chicks. Sadly all gone now but they all lived to a grand old age.

All of the pictures I'm posting are from a back catalogue spread over about 15 years and are quite low resolution to prevent commercial copies. So excuse the quality.
