Red Squirrel gathering hazelnuts
Another one from deep into a Polish forest, sitting for some time in a pretty cramped hide. This one's pose is a bit more traditional!

D2x, 200-400, tripod, hide
1/640, F/5.6, -1/3 Iso 250
Raw converted in NX

Nice squirrel with good alert pose, Paula. If you have the room, I would give an inch more space above. :wavey:

Hi Paula
A lovely Red with a pleasing pose - haven't seen one for years. Think I would have stopped down a bit more to keep the paws sharp. Good to see you posting.
