A couple of squirrel shots from my Saturday morning with Barrie, and a couple of owl shots from tonight, when I had great views but light wasn't great.

Nice ones Alan, you can get so much closer with 500mm. Is yours a 50-500 or 150-500?

The squirrel is a star. Great capture of the owl as well. I assume that the owl was not eyeing up the squirrel?

Best regards
