while walking the dogs

Took the camera as always- saw a movement in the grass beside an old Oak log

Heres what I got only manged two, more of a quick snap than a planned shot- he heard the shutter gave me a quick glance and he was gone in a flash

Les, I'd be chuffed to bits with them. Right place at the right time and brilliantly caught
