Never saw any when we went to bury Xmas trees a couple of weeks ago. Mind you it was p*****g it down :eek: :biggrin: :wink:
Perhaps a bit off the top to remove most of the light bit. A very fine image.

Oooooooooo, now then! :toast: :toast: :toast:

This wee chap is a dead ringer for the last one we photographed in "that place".

Do I recognise anywhere or anything in this frame Andy?

Perhaps a little localised sharpening on the squidger on this jpeg.

Smart shot and great pose Andy. May prefer a little more room for the squirrel to look into or even make it a pano :wink:

Good to see people posting Formby reds again. They seem to be on the road to recovery after a miserable few years. I agree with Andy that a little selective sharpening would not go amiss.

Minor nits mentioned Andy but that is a lovely looking squidger you have there.....super ear tufts on this one.


All the best for 2013 Andy!
