I met up with Ian and Brian today at the British Wildlife Centre, near Lingfield, Surrey. Great day, good company, although cold with snow is not ideal weather!
Here's my favourite shots from the day. All taken with my 7D, 70-300 L IS USM, and with flash (EX430 II). Due to weather, I set iso800 for most of the day, as I find the 7D copes with that very nicely!
Red Squirrel, with a nut...

The otters were out playing in the lake...

The centre has a new arrival... a Weasel, and let me tell you... he's very quick!
1/160, f6.3, 70mm

The Weasel is much like the Stoat...

I tried something a bit different with the Stoat too...
1/320, f6.3, @79mm

There's a sign by the Stoat that says 'Care - these animals may bite!' - you should probably bare that in mind if you visit!

Hope you like them!
C&C welcome, as ever!
All the best, Mike
