Cheers guys I have no access to PP software bar cropping ATM as my laptop screen is playing up. The Squirrel was real fun I can only guess they were young but there were 5 chasing each other all over the tree I took a load of shots then moved back to the waterfowl, I heard a little barking behind me and turned round to see this chap checking me out as if he was saying "what you doing?"

All taken with my Pentax ist DL2 with a Pentax-A zoom 70-200 manual focus. taken early Sunday morning

This looks interesting to me a good chance to pratice portraits. @ Tatton Park Cheshire
""The Medieval Fayre, in association with Plantagenet Events, re-creates a mid year medieval spectacle.
With hundreds of re-enactors and over 40 authentic traders and artisans the fayre is one of the most atmospheric events in the living history calendar. Good food, ale and mead will refresh the visitor and revive battle weary troops while music will stir the soul. Travelling traders will sell fine fabrics and wonderful artefacts. Tatton's historic Old Hall and grounds will echo to the flash of cannon and musket and twang of longbow as medieval warriors demonstrate their skills. Minstrels, mercenaries, men-at-arms, archers, gunners, falconers and a ragtag army of hangers-on also create interesting times. All is not quite what it seems though. Despite all the fun of the fayre a jealous neighbour and his army are determined to wrest the Old Hall from its rightful owner. The ensuing Battle of Tatton Field finale
each day promises to be exciting and noisy as rivalry comes into play. Whose side will you cheer for? The Old Hall is open for tours. Adult £7, Child £4.50, Family £18.50. Open 11am to 5pm (last entry 4pm).""
