So there I was wondering where my voles had disappeared to when a head appeared. Problem solved, they all got eaten. :biggrin:

Was not really expecting it which explains the 1/60sec at 800mm! Just had time to up the ISO to 1600. This is about the only sharp shot and needed a 60% crop.

Neil they don't give you a lot of time but you have certainly nailed this one.

very nice,

They are far too quick for my reactions, not that I've had many chances!

Thanks. This is the first one I have had a go at, had stoats but they are lumps compared to this fellow! :biggrin:
