 These things are annoyingly hard to photograph. It kept darting in different directions, and was too small for auto focus, so I had to change to manual. The only quip I have with it is that the eyes are not in focus. Also, because it was later in the day, there wasn't enough light for me to use faster shutter speeds at ISO 100. Other than that, I am please with the shot.

I've been trying to that (occasionally) but without much success so far. Good shot indeed.

Nice shot - Like the tones - But the lack of sharpness really lets this down - Nature shots really need to be pin sharp.
