Went back to the area where I photographed the Deer and Stoat/Rabbit on Monday but today was extremely quiet in comparison. Biting cold wind, very few birds around and no Deer or Mustelids to be seen anywhere.
This cheeky chappy below saved the day though, came across him on the way home. Unlike most Reds I come across this one didnt chatter angrily while scurrying to the top of the tree. Instead he just sat watching me at head height around 20ft away (if that). I snapped plenty of shots, while observing him at the same time before he decided to leave.He didnt bolt off though like most do, instead he crept round the other side of the trunk, and kept popping his head round to see if I was still there Amusing to watch,he kept this up for a few minutes before scurrying across the treetops out of sight. It was my first Red sighting in this area for a few weeks so aswell as getting some half decent pics, I was pleased to know a few Reds are still around and doing ok.

oh wow These are fantastic Mark and a small tut from me from critisising your work, I'd be chuffed to more than bits with these fantabulous images. Well done
