These tricky goats are always giving me the run around. I managed to get close to one recently and unusually the background wasn't sky or shooting upwards at 45 degrees.

Caught mid chew, but I like the expression.

These are described as feral - so not sure if that needs a (C). They live wild now in the mountains and hills around the Findhorn Valley :wavey:

f6.3, ISO400, 500m, 1/250

Hi Marcus,

nice portrait and expression :smile:

I wonder if you could pull a bit more detail from the dark areas.
