"Mine, all mine....."

This is one of 4 feeders at the feeding station just outside our front door. Usually the place is packed with small birds and occasionally larger ones (jackdaws, wood pigeons and pheasants) who enjoy the varied fare on offer. This morning I glanced out of an upstairs window and caught sight of this cheeky fellow.

This image was taken in less than ideal circumstances, namely through a double glazed window, but I wanted to capture the moment. We are in red squirrel country so this guy is regarded as vermin. It's hard to think that when you see his quicksilver movements.

After this, off to town to do a quick shop in Aldi, then to pick up a new fluorescent tube for the utility. That was fiddly to fit because it's 5 feet long and my arms just didn't stretch well!

More exercises for Arth. Camera club tonight for Print of the Year. I don't expect to do anything having seen a lot of the fantastic entries but it's always interesting to hear how the judge reached her decision.
