Another from the other day - hope you all like :biggrin:

It was very hard, as I'm sure Andy B would agree, to get a shot without food on Friday - they didn't want shelled nuts, monkey nuts were top of the bill, and they were eating them on the spot mostly - messy!

But this guy settled down to eat a lone peanut without all the mess and paused just long enough when he's finished for me to get this shot.

Thanks to Andy again too for the creative stump dump - so much nicer than a flat cut one by Stihl :biggrin:

D300
300-800mm @ 550mm
ISO 400
1/320th @ f8
95% full frame
Bibble Pro & CS3

As usual thanks for looking :toast: :toast: :toast:
