Stoat

Stoat, one from last year, brings back some very fond memories thanks for looking.

DPP / CS2 ( several distracting dasies toned down a touch )

Frederic

Not only still for a moment, but out in the open as well! A superb capture.

David

Enjoyed these when you first showed them and this is no exception, a super image only minor thing for me is that I would tone down the greens ever so slightly....

Thanks for sharing another from your collection of these super little mammals.

Nice, alert animal - great capture!

Andy

Excellent focus on the eye. Well done indeed.

Great shot of a stoat. Nice little pose been shown.

Ian

They move like little rockets, I only ever managed one image a couple of years ago.

Super work.

Fran

Excellent image.

Another belter Andy, you really haven't made the most of these stoat shots as they are the best I have seen and you have a big market for them.

Danny

Cracking image Andy. They are indeed difficult little beggars to photograph. Lovely expression on the stoat's face.

super capture Andy, a rare sight indeed.

A tad central but never get tired of your wonderful Stoat images!

David

Thanks for the comments guys, their always appreciated

Hi Phil, your right about the greens, I always struggle to get them right, after making a pigs ear of the processing last time I tend to overcompensate with the saturation.

Hi Danny, last year Mark Hamblin tried to get a few of the Stoat and Weasel shots published for me, with the exception of one charity there didn't seem to be that much interest in them, so I haven't bothered since.

Cheers

Andy...

another very nice Stoat image Andy. I was walking in Shropshire recently and a stoat suddenly appeared on the path about 6 feet in front of me dragging a rabbit by the scruff of its neck. It was having trouble moving it though and it let us watch it for a few minutes as it gnawed at the back of the rabbit's neck. It didn't seem phased by us at all but we eventually backed off a bit and left it to it. Amazing little things, the rabbit was at least 3-4 times the size of the stoat. I can certainly see why you enjoyed photographing yours so much (and why they were so popular here on UKNP) And no, I didn't have my camera with me

Another nice Stoat shot Andy


Nits already covered

Don't give up Andy these are brilliant it might be just not what they were after at the time, it changes from year to year in this game. Try again now give me a bell if you need any advice.

Danny

Thanks once again for the kind words everyone, cheers

Thanks for that Danny

Andy...

Another cracking good Stoat image mate.
