Not really wildlife, but one of the best shots from my Scotland trip which turned into a wine and whisky holiday.

I was amazed at how clear the Moon was in Scotland, I've tried taking shots back in London but there no where near this quality.

D2x 600mm 1/40 @ F/9 ISO100

Now you know why they call cities "The big smoke"

Nice moon shot - try it with a 2x next time and be amazed at how fast the moon moves

....oh, and glad to see the Whiskey didn't give you the shakes
