The Cartwheel
Hi to all,

A cartwheeling Stoat from earlier this year, just like my other acrobatic Stoat shots the quality isn't the best, maybe I'll nail them next year :biggrin: thanks for looking.

1/1000th @ F5.6 +1/3rd E/comp iso400

Best regards

Andy... :smile:

Lovely Andrew, nice action shot. I have one snooping about my bird feeders at the moment. All i see i a blurr of chestnut fur.

Andrew, I was just finishing my counselling for jealousy issues over these stoat images of yours. Guess I'd better book a few more sessions.!!

ps. I had a lovely sighting of a hunting stoat on the roadside when I was on my way back from Donna Nook. Any sighting of these fantastic creatures lifts my spirits, especially as we don't have many down these parts. Unfortunately the camera was still wrapped in plastic covers after a soaking.

Hi Andy,

You certainly had fun with these and captured some superb behaviour. I think the caption makes this cracking image more amusing!

What a great behavioural capture, exceptionally well seen/antisipated and taken.
