    Nah... try to stick with birds/wildlife rather than domestic.
    Sorry

    Fox...? Not a dog but wild...that would be a nice challenge. I see loads along the Dodder but not during daytime.

    Spotted the kingfisher this morning as he disappeared into a labyrinth of branches deep in shadow on the far side of the river- and was angling to try to get a shot when he took off'!
    Because of the darkness of the scene - ISO is zapped up to 4000- so a pretty grainy shot

    My photo bucket account has been on the blink lately but seems fixed now so here are a few from the past couple of months. I also saw a stoat today for the first time ever but it ran into a hedge before I could get a photo.
    A Buzzard at Applegreen on M1.

    This Squirrel was asleep like this outside my window for at least 20 minutes.

    @gustavo- thanks. The quality of pics is poor- but it is not easy to get a pic of a KF in flight.

    Nice walk today along the Milltown section of the Dodder with gzoladz and his young son Simon.
    We saw nothing special- but blue tits always look great

    No idea what these are. Came across a flock in a field and took this on maximum zoom. There were a few Oystercatchers mixed in too
