This Weasel turned up at the base of a feeder I have been re-visiting recently.

Fair play they are quick & very difficult to photograph. With all the cover surounding the base of the feeder I found it very difficult to get a clear/focused shot of him.

Here's one of the best results taken of him before he departed.

D2H - 600mm AF-S F4
ISO 200, F8. 1/200sec (Using vehicle as a hide)

I wish I had the D2X attached to the 600mm instead of the D2H

Time to sell the old camera I think

Great shot Vincent.
Have got it in to my head to get a few of these if possible.
really enjoy trying to get them to come towards me. Some may say its a bit tight but I dont think so. Wish it were mine.

Great shot Vince.
I understand how difficult it is. I sat at the location of my recent shot for five hours today and it didn't turn up and to top it all Iforgot my flask

Once again great shot

Lovely shot Vince. Really good detail in the whites and the high lights in the eyes are captivating

Hope you don't mind I gave its nose a sharpen.
Cracking shot, great reactions.

Hi Vince

Great shot, the 'nose job' certainly helped. Great detail - my only very minor nit is that I feel you have over saturated the image a little!
