Irish stoat, and his lunch!

Hi Herb,

Thank you so much! This was pure chance, unexpected, and caught me totally unawares, as I said to Steve above. It was only later I found that it was a quite rare animal...
And only thanks to yours and Steve's advice that the shot even existed. Who knows what the multiple focus points might have done with the wide aperture which was set.....

Best wishes
Peter.

Hello Peter what a well spotted and taken shot here .. certainly interesting to know what it had caught / found ? ... almost looks like some kind of Fish full size ?

Best wishes ... Steve

WOW! A stunning capture, Peter! Thanks for the link too. It certainly looks like a fish and it may have swum out to sea to catch it as the text says they are good swimmers.
Best wishes,
Andy

Thank you Steve,

As I said above, it was a total surprise to see this small mammal running over the rocks. I didn't even notice the fish until I looked in detail.
It certainly looks a rather sad fish!

Best wishes
Peter
