Not the best shot I've taken, but I still like it. This was taken while I was sitting in a park in Edinburgh near sunset, waiting for a bus to the airport; It always pays to have your camera on you!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Even though they can be a real pest, (speaking from first hand experience) they are lovely little creatures. This is a great shot Dave and I like it in b&w too.

@MaryB: Thanks Mary, this one was sitting on a bin after a raid for a bacon sandwich!

I like this shot, especially the bw. The top of the head tends to blend a bit with the background (or it could just be my monitor)
