Squirrel, actually...

But I tell you, he wasn't the only one concerned about his nuts.

1D2n, 600mm f4 is, 1/200s, f4, iso 500.

I don't remember ever having had such numb hands, even with gloves. My camera also complained, showing err 99 for a full day after this.

I love the bleakness pf this picture, and don't think I would change anything.

I hope your fingers and other bits start to work again soon.
