Nice shot! Must admit, they don't look at all aerodynamic.
 
Lovely shot - well captured from an unusual viewpoint :clap:
 
INCOMMMMINNNNNNNNNNNNNG :eek: , nice and sharp though :clap:
 
Cracking shot.
Reminded me of a bird photographer - Eric Hoskins. He lost an eye when a Tawny owl flew at him.
 
Great shot, braver person than me I reckon! :)
 
Wow! Lucky wotsit! Buy a lottery ticket this weekend! Oh and mine is a mini cooper works please.
 
The look in the eyes kind of says "I'm coming right down your lens if you don't move.
A nice well taken shot.
 
awesome shot, he's got quite a stare on him!!

I didn't know they made cameras that were small enough to be used by mice
hope you were a quick runner!
 
Thanks for all the comments guys. Appreciated (y)
 
Heh - pretty awesome shot!! :) How close did he fly to you? Looks like he was gunning for a fight!

Thanks Gary

If i remember correctly I got my head slapped by one of his wings :LOL: That's the trouble when the only eye you're using is stuck in a view finder. You don't quite realize just how fast something is moving.
 
Brilliant Shot :clap:

I assume you use your 17-55 lens :LOL:
