I am 99.9% certain the image was taken at the "jumping post" at Snaizeholme in North Yorkshir - a pay for location.

The squirrels cannot easily reach the front post and are encourage to jump for nuts from the back post. An assistants hand can help with pre-focus.

Then "all you need" (my shot is not as good) is some luck !, skill and good light at the time of booking.

Not all jumps produce good compositions

Yep you're correct, it was back in March. I had good light and got lots of decent shots. It helps with 20 fps on the Z8!
One jumped the reflection pool when I was there.

I'll stick with my 300pf as it's great on my Z8 and works really well with the TC1.4 III.
Thanks for all your opinions.
