A pity its standing on a wooden feeder but it's the only decent shot I managed of him/her.

Hi,

many thanks for all the great comments, he/she's a cuty right enough there were three bouncing about us that afternoon but I just couldn't get any of them to 'pose' for me. I have seen their route through the trees between a couple of feeders so I plan another trip to sit and catch them on their travels, there is a particularly good spot where they run along a fallen tree to cross a wet area, so I might just sit with the hide and see what I can capture.

See ya,

Mike.
