Well done!

A wonderful series, Lester!
I particularly like the 5th image. It is not easy to show a critter in thick vegetation and have it look good. Somehow, you managed to show the vole's micro-environment, and still show the vole, without a bunch of too-blurred-out vegetation getting in the way.

Out of the park phenomenal images Lester! Such an adorable (and tiny) little ball of fur.

Cute animals !

Many thanks all very much appreciated. Sometimes they show and other times you see nothing but perhaps hear the little plop as they dive away from you.
