Feb 10 - The Visitor

Worcestershire, England

I was sitting at the kitchen window watching a pheasant that was hiding in one of the flowerbeds, when I spotted this fellow strolling up the garden - I think he had his eye on the pheasant too.

I just had time to grab the camera and open the door before he poked his head round the corner - the sound of the shutter scared him and he ran off. If only I had put the camera into Servo AF mode I would have had a great sequence of him running away through the snow....

Great moment and capture. The mix of free animal and domestic structure make for a interesting mix!
