Tricky little fellas, well done getting him. It is a bit cluttered but that is how it should be with these guys. :toast:

Grand little chaps,-especially under bird feeders. We have a load outside the room window. I had an open fronted set up outside which they used no problem.I even raised it up level with the window and built them a little stairway to heaven(peanuts!)

Nice shot, the rose/bramble stem shadow is a bit obtrusive, but its hard to control these encounters. :toast:

I wish there were some in the brook at the bottom of our close. Nice to see.
