Weasel - female???

Hi to all,

Spent this morning with the Weasel's, had a fantastic time watching this little beauty tearing up and down the track, checking out the Field vole run's, I think this might be a female because it's much smaller than the other individual.

After 4 hours in the bag hide (We suffer for our art ) He/She finally came close enough to grab a couple of shots, thanks for looking.

Your patience and effort was justly rewarded. What a nice capture.

Stunning shot! I love it! Really like the viewpoint, and the out of focus foreground gives depth. Nice pose too and nice subtle colours!

Lovely capture!

Another cracker from the series Andy. I like this one for the setting

Very very nice, in fact a wonderful image, trying hard to find a nit and the only thing that I think might be a very slight improvement is perhaps an ever so slightly higher viewpoint (not often I say that ) just to perhaps get a little more of the back leg(s) in.

This is certainly an image to be very proud of and your patience is certainly paying off big time.

Thanks for the comments guys, always appreciated.

Hi Phil, once i'm in position theres not a great deal I can do about positioning and as you can see the Weasel just happened to stop in a slight depression, when she's further up the track the viewpoint is spot on, thanks for the very nice comments.

Hi Andrew,

Appreciate exactly the difficulties... the series of images you are getting is superb...

I have just realised that on screen this dynamic little creature isn't far of life size

All the best

Phil

Have to agree with the comments re this series of shots, this one in particular works really well for me, it almost feels like you could reach out and stroke the animal

Another cracker and I'm still green with envy.

Great shot and as had been said if you could have just got the feet in. ! (Iknow it aint that simple - believe me, but so easy to comment !! )
Good one

Thanks once again for the nice comments guys, cheers

Cracking image

Another cracker, Andy. At first I thought it maybe a female that was lactating as the underbelly looks like its 'hanging down' a little but it may just be the way the fur is lying. Either way it's a great shot. Feet don't bother me at all.

Another superb shot of these difficult to find (never mind get good shots of) animals.
Keep it up.
