It's just lovely to see our native red.

Locally we are inundated with the grey tree rats, but we have a small population of reds on Brownsea Island and the Isle of Wight. Thankfully, I shall be spending a few days with them in June.

We are right on the front line with tree rats coming over the Tay and spreading North East, there is a half hearted attempt at stopping them, but I can't see it working.

Well done to the lady. There are several locations now in the country where they are trying to re-establish the red. For my part I’ve just passed the 80 mark for despatching greys this year.

We have three daily and in 20 years up here I have only had to dispatch one grey. Great shot Burnie

It wasnae me, it was the sherpa who carries my film gear lol. She has a good eye for a shot but struggles with the weight of that big 500mm lens, so she is getting the 100-400 which is about half the weight.

A very nice shot. I’ve just acquired a RF100-400 myself and today was its first outing, It works very well and so much lighter than my EF version.
