A very quiet day with cr@p weather, only four shots fired, two of his backside, one out of focus and the only keeper below. Waited for another four hours but he never turned up. One of these days he WILL sit and pose where i want him ! i`m not holding my breath though.

800 mm, iso 400, f6.3, -2/3, 1/ 80th
