Another pool first !
Bank Voles
Nor exactly in the water but not far off ! Comming out for seed that I sprinkled at the back of the pool. Had problems with too many birds messing shots up so had to clone out part of a very blurred blue tit, and white poo. There were 4 voles alltogether. Interestingly when the camera shutter went of on the first of the rapid fire - instead of scarpering, they froze. ! very convienient.!
Also thios is lessthan 60% of the full frame,taken with the Nikor 70-300mm at 15 foot distance on the D 7000. Amazing !
Messy background (and that stone I know ! )- but can't be choosey )
180th second @f8 800 ISO.
Levels etc Paint Shop pro.
Cheers
Thanks for any previous comments.

Great to see two of these side by side, JR. I'd be happy with a shot of just one of these, as for the shot, there are a few distractions but none great enough to stop this from being a very good image. Wonder whats going to turn up next?
