photoblog image Hanging Round

Hanging Round

The squirrels have a hard (but not an impossible time) to get seed out of the bird feeders.  I like how in this shot his foot on the left has not even grasped the perch yet. In the full file you can see his claws much better.

Critters, wild and tame, delight us on walks around the Island on An Island Walk.

They must give you so much entertainment to watch.smile
Mary MacADNski: They have to be acrobats to get at some of mine - the ones that are called squirrel proof but are not.

Where there's a will there's a way! They are very determined creatures. Well caught.

Very nicely captured Mary! Well done.
Mary MacADNski: Thanks, Richard.
Nice image
if you want a little advice, in post processing (or anytime really), use a little contrast on an image like this.
It'd really give it a lot of pop!!
Cheers

Mary MacADNski: I don't use post processing, Rob.

Made me smile ;o) They are so determined I am surprised the birds ever get any food ;o)
Mary MacADNski: They certainly are and will eat through plastic anything.
They usually can get into feeders that are supposed to be squirrel proof too!
Mary MacADNski: The squirrels here do get into them. This is supposedly squirrel proof.
Amusing shot Mary..Well caught.
Mary MacADNski: Their antics absolutely amuse the cats.
