Flying Muntjac

I'd love to say I'd worked hard for this image but I'd not had much success at the feeder and went to a public hide for a change of scenery. This fella crossed an open field in front of me. Clearly felt vulnerable as he fair shot across the stubble.

ID MkIIn 500mm 1.4x
f5.6
1/2000
ISO200

a great pose and nicely sharp, would have benfited from lower angle but not much you can do from a public hide

not the easiest animal to photograph at full pace. Well taken.
