SD10. Sigma 500mm,
F7.1, 1/500s, ISO 400.
I was working on my feeding station after adding a new log pile.
I saw a movement in the undergrowth and got to the camera just in time for one shot. I waited for a while and a Weasel without a mouse popped up in the new log pile and looked around. Watching for a few minutes more it turned out there where a pair of them.
Comments welcome.

excellent shot. my only nit would be that the light is a bit harsh but you have still managed to capture plenty of detail

The mouse and the height of the grass shows how small these mammals are-great stuff

Great image Steve, the oof leaf on the right is a bit distacting but a minor issue with the capture of such a great moment. Like Alan I think I'll spend some time expanding the log pile!!

Great stuff. An image of a very difficult subject in my book.
