Lucky capture, they are beautiful animals and are normally on the run. Sadly 36 of them and two crows were poisoned this week by somebody using a herbicide

That is truly awful!! I hope they will be more careful now!

Superb capture of this gorgeous little animal. The focus and detail are awesome. Can't say I have seen one before, but the black and white colours down his back are really unusual. Nice work. Susan
