took this pic today,i know it's not pin sharp but the little blighter was moving a bit must have been late for his tea

[Kayleigh]

Wow, great capture. You must be really chuffed

[Dan Salter]

A levitating mustalid always brightens up the day !...nice one

[sleipnerofasgard]

I haven't stopped smiling all day chuffed is an understatement although i did feel a bit soory for the poor victim,any guesses?looks like a moorhen maybe

[Kayleigh]

Looks like a rat to me

Then i don't feel sorry and i can go to bed with a clear conscience
and think how lucky i was,as i was messing with the camera settings on manual to get a picture of a whooper swan flying past and didn't have time to reset the camera as the shutter speed was about 1/1000 of a sec ,if only i was quick enough to track it ,damn now i've gone and got myself depressed now

Wouldn't get depressed over that shot, it's a fine shot of a fast moving animal
Well done

What a great photo!
Thanks for putting it on WAB!

By the way - thats no rat in its gob! (How big do we think Stoats are?)
Stoat = approx 27cm long
Brown rat = same sort of length (variable).
Unless its a tiny wee rat of course?

MUCH more likely to be a mouse or vole.
Right size anyway...

Lovely to see You did very well to get it in frame and as clear as you have, considering the speed they shift at! Actually, just having the presence of mind to take a shot is pretty remarkable
