A pictorial diary of my walks around the parks and wild areas of Leicestershire, and occasionally farther afield.

If you're new to my blog, you might like to have a look at the pictures in the older post as well (click on button at the bottom of the page).

I am also a writer, using the pen-name John Gwynant, and I'll occasionally announce my latest book release on the blog.

Wildlife watching - 21 January 2011

Canon EOS 7d, EF 100 - 400mm L Lens
1/50 @ 6.3, iso 400, 400mm
What does a squirrel do when he/she senses your presence, it doesn't matter how fat it looks, if it's a wild one it'll do what this one did -

Canon EOS 7d, EF 100 - 400mm L Lens
1/40 @ 6.3, iso 400, 400mm
- RUN!

OK so a fiftieth of a second is living in hope, it should have been around a four hundredth fo sharpness but I do like the image at a fortieth and wouldn't have got it if I'd been shooting at faster speeds.
