Thanks for the comments on my last image.
This was taken in my local park one afternoon. I took a few peanuts with me, and threw them down in these leaves. Then I lay down and waited for this chap to show up, which he did after about half and hour.

Nice and sharp Oscar but I find myself wanting to see its little legs. Perhaps try tempting them with some acorns or beech mast and try for a shot with one in its beak. Love the mush and BG.
Are you sure that this was not taken after months of feeding them from a hide with one way glass. All I ever see of them(and they are common near me) is a white arse flying away fast.
Very nice image, no nits from me

I like the low angle and the mush. A class image.

A smart shot as always Oscar. Not keen on the head angle though as I think it makes it look a little odd. probably just me though

very nice, you would have been too close with a 600, just saying
