Another pesky Grey + repost
This pesky grey squirrel costs me a fortune in "lost" birdfood but I can't help but admire its tenacity. When not being chased off it is quite happy to pose for the odd photo so I guess it deserves the odd exposure ................. :rolleyes:

At least you are getting something for all that expenditure then. I would prefer to see the squirrel a little less central in the frame, but otherwise a super shot.

By the way, we invested in squirrel-proof feeders. The only difference it has made is that the sparrows eat us out of house and home instead of the squirrel. :jump: :jump: :jump:

Yes needs to be more left as Brett says.
Maybe take out the white spots below the branch.
Cheers

No, John, I'm David. I realise we are easy to confuse, but Brett is younger, has more hair (possibly), and is not so good looking :cool:

LOL @ David and John (whiskey again John?) :biggrin:

Have to agree with David's comments though. Other than that a very nice setting and detail Cliff.

I think the real difference between David and I is that David is even more grey than the squirrel...! :biggrin: As for the good looking bit, well I guess his opticians appointment is long overdue, poor OLD fella!

Sorry, I digress -

Nit covered but always nice to capture these critters as you never know when someone might want an image of something others might just look over..!

Kind regards,

Brett :toast:

Hi Cliff,

Nice shot! Not the most inspiring of subjects I know, but they still need photographing.

Cheers,

Lewis.
