I personally think the crop works well as it is but would be interested in seeing the end result if you do decide to crop it even further.
Thank you , I will crop it later, and then post it

It's a shame folks want to kill what they don't like. I wish the poor defenceless animals could shoot back. Mankind are the only animals that kill for pleasure.
Thanks Bob, Yes, I am enjoying having so much wildlife on my doorstep

I shoot every one I see!! The more the merrier and thankfully there are culls of Greys across the north to try and save the reds.

Sorry about going off topic MS. If Bob has issues with us culling alien species, perhaps he would like to start a thread on it.
That's okay, it is a different situation than the UK



Bob- In the UK the Grey was introduced and has driven the Native Red Squirrel to small numbers,as it is much bigger, and aggressive, plus diseases, and has decimated the population in a huge amount of the UK. You have to travel far up North to see them now
When I was a kid you could see them in the woods in the South of England, sadly no more

It is a sad situation, that any animal has to be culled, but I would not want the Red Squirrel to become extinct.

I know my Dad is the same as Dawn, and considers himself a person who is conserving the British countryside. The UK is such a small Island that when new species are introduced it does throw the whole eco system to pot. There are now Chipmunks living in the UK, that pet owners and zoo escapees have let loose are causing the same problems. Minks, Parakeets, I think in Norfolk there are even Capybara! living on the Fens.

Like I said, it is a difficult and sad situation. With no easy, nice remedy.

Bob, I agree with you that I can't understand why people shoot them over here There is no reason in the States that I can see, I have come across Squirrel hunters in the woods and I don't understand why?

Different countries, and situations , but wherever they are, they are cute xxx
