Today I was just about to take a picture of the most stunning bird I had even seen when.............. Oh, wait, no. That wasn't me.

About 7 or 8ft away. My zoom lens wont get in that close and get the detail so I had to make the squirrels come to me.
Set a trap with food just outside the patio windows, opened the door a tad, got on my belly (oi, no jokes anyone lol) and slealthly(?) clicked away.
As for the stick, it has snapped in half
I came doen this morning and the little hooligans had broken my assault course. It's all on the ground with food everywhere.

I think your squirrel shots are really amazing Dave, so much fine detail.
I am getting worried that all these Robins are working for a theatrical agency...I won't even look at the ones in my garden unless they chap the window and can ride a unicycle.

I'm like that with the Doves now. If they're not juggling at least 3 Robins I wont even turn my camera on.

Really like the first shot of Cyril - the high contrast makes for a very strong image.
