Wildlife isn't my normal subject matter, but the nut tree in the garden ensures that Grey Squirrels visit on a regular basis and I've had a try at getting some shots in the last few days. Using the French doors, I can snap away whilst the Squirrel is happily tucking into the hazelnut feast from the comfort of the living room. There's never any sunlight in this part of the garden at this time of year though, so I might have to move the table into the garden one day and try staking it out as I really want a good close-up. These were all shot from between 6-8 feet away I'd say, on a 70-300mm L lens - shooting wide open at ISO 400, I'm only getting shutter speeds of around 100th-200th sec because of the shaded location.

C&C welcome, as are any pointers on what to improve.
