Hedgehog.⁠
⁠
Britain's favourite animal. The little "hodgepodge" trundling around at night mostly. This youngster was out early one evening, on the Isle Of Mull.⁠

Giving us the once over as it sheltered from the gusty wind, on a bitterly cold day in the Scottish Highlands. ⁠

Water Vole.⁠
⁠
Not your average ratty here, but one that lives on the mountains in the Scottish Highlands. This one was out looking for grasses to munch on, beside a mountain stream.⁠

Little Owl - continuing to enjoy the remarkable AF

Little Owl - continuing to enjoy the remarkable AF system in the Canon EOS R5, as it maintained a focal lock on the owl as she flew between the perches at the farm.⁠
⁠
I don't normally take photos during workshops, as the angle I have from where I watch isn't particularly good, but I saw this chance, and the combination of my experience of watching them, and the camera's AF system, nailed this image, and several others.⁠

Red-Backed Shrike.⁠
⁠
From a rare day out away from the owls, off to Sutton Park, to see the shrike that has been captivating birders and photographers alike.⁠
⁠
This was also a chance to play with my new Canon EOS R5 away from the farm, and see how the eye detection would fare on subjects with smaller features.⁠
⁠
The R5 amazed me when it detected and locked on to the shrike's eye, from over 50 feet away, when the shrike was perched in a bush!⁠
⁠
Also handy is the 45MP sensor, so for crops like this, incredible detail and clarity remains. ⁠

Barn Owl.⁠
⁠
This one amused me. I'd been out at dawn and dusk each day, looking for barn owls, travelling miles up and down the coast. ⁠
⁠
Then one morning when I had got up a little later than usual (blame the Wherry), I stumbled on this individual, hunting a meadow just half a mile from where I was staying.⁠
