Hello to all. My name is Lee Newman & I live in Castleford West Yorkshire. this is my first post & I had hoped it to be something rare or spectacular. However after a freezing cold trip to my local Kingfisher spot (no show)I got a snap of this Squirrel raiding one of the nature reserves feeding stations.
Any comments / critque / advice welcome.
I have only taken up photography recently so I am quite a novice, but I have always had an intrest in wildlife.
The standards on this forum which I have watched for some months are very high & give people like me somthing to aim for. Also thanks to a friend of mine on this forum for telling me about UKNP & for the good deal on the camera

Hi Lee, welcome to the forum! Nice first post, although I have mixed feelings as the two greys in my garden drive me mad taking it in turns to eat the food intended for the birds! Determined and resourceful little critters ................... Cliff
