Mammals in Flight (MIF)

[ingweDave]

Most years I try to get a day in the Scottish Highlands watching our native Red Squirrel, from a hide. These entertaining creatures are great value and ideal for testing photo equipment and techniques.

Awesome

#3 is jaw-dropping good, and a green series!!! You do not have to go to the east to get flying squirrels!

 

[Squawk]

Just the idea is amazing, let alone the shots, particularly #3 red ninja. I love photos that amaze and make you laugh.

While I prefer the first photo, they're all outstanding. Very well done sir!

They are all fantastic shots, but I agree the last shot is out of this world.
Give that man a ‘ceegar’!!…
