Some pics from yesterday

[mh68]

Spent an enjoyable day yesterday at Gosforth Park NR near Newcastle.The Red Squirrels were very active on the ground and a lot more approachable than usual.Heres a few pics....









Not many birds within range to photograph, but managed this quick shot of a Blackbird as it landed nearby....



...and this shot of a pristine Comma sunning on one of the trees....



Hope you like them

Thanks Bill. Usually the Squirrels are a nightmare to get close to unless you visit one of the feeding stations, luckily I was there at the right time for once

Thanks Colin, considering their plight in the uk i feel very privileged to have them so close to home.Hopefully they`ll be there for a few years yet, although trouble is afoot regarding some released Greys where these shots were taken (see the squirrel cull thread).
