Nut thief identified at last!!

Been wondering who's been nicking all the fat balls / food that i've been putting out for the birds recently. Casual glance out the window this morning led to a frantic rush for my camera.

Fumbled the settings a bit, so ended up with 1/80 at ISO400, when I could have used 1/200 instead. Luckily one of the photos that I managed to snatch wasn't too blurred! Was using my 70-200 F4 L, with 1.4x TC at 280mm F5.6 btw.

Must be stealing for her young, so is she in the wrong?

Haha that's a class picture, very amusing.

Mate I think this is the wrong place for a moral discussion about whether the squirrel is in the right or the wrong, just appreciate the shot.

Now you know who'#s doing it - there only one thing you can do...

Assault Course!

Like that old beer advert *Carling black label?* Lets see what that squizzel will do to get the food.

Yes.. time to go to plan B I think.

I need to place the feeder on an even flimsier branch, then we'll see how it gets on

If they're anything like the squirrels around here they'll try anyway, knock the feeder onto the floor then eat all the nuts out of it.

Nice shot

Around here at the moment it's the baby ones doing the food stealing :eek:
