Default Well look who came to dinner

Well it was breakfast actually

Spotted this little fellow running around my patio at 5.45am this morning, I had to do a double take I thought it was a rat at first. Well it really enjoyed the cat food , he was visible for about ten minutes and then disappeared. I had spotted one about a week ago walking past my back door step I suspect this may the same one

You've captured him well.

Equipment: Nothing but my notebook which is one of the most important parts of birding. To go out without it (which I only ever did once) is like going out without your pants on. I've never understood why I responded to the 'Cameras and Equipment' question in this way because in reality I own a Leica Telescope with eyepieces, Zeiss Binoculars, and a Manfrotto Tripod all of which cost a positive fortune.

Thanks rolf and Pete. Yes gorgeous aren't they. Well this one was running around so fast I could not get a pic of him that wasn't blurred. He was only still while he ate.

5.40am is the time I get up for work Pete, I've always been an early riser. A few years ago I opened my patio door curtain to see a fox looking back at me. Best part of the day I think.
