Hi to all,
Here's a Stoat shot from the last series, the photograph was taken just after a rain shower and the Stoat was licking the rain water from the daisies, after finishing his drink he proceeded to eat the daisy, can anyone tell me if this is normal behavior.
After converting to sRGB the sat levels have creeped up a bit and the whites in the daisies are a little hotter than I would have liked, but I don't think it looks too bad, thanks for looking.
Another cracking stoat image for me to get all jealous about. I have a real passion for all members of the mustelids and this series of yours has been great. Wonderful opportunities and well taken.
Robert.

Great shot, and as said - interesting behaviour, I've not hear of it before. They are quite opportunistic feeders I believe and they do eat berries and stuff too I think, so I wouldn't be surprised if they give anything a go!

Daisies look fine to me because your attention is given to the Stoat.
