There are particularly vicious killer sheep around here, making use of any cover available to conceal themselves and wait for any unwary traveller to wander into range: http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp/Olympus/Everdon_09.htm if that fails they will arrange themselves in a pastoral tableau to tempt you in but the danger is still in the long grass. http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp/Olympus/Everdon_09a.htm I keep well away and never photograph them with anything less than a 1000mm lens. The nut gathering squirrel is still very vivid in my memory and serves as a constant reminder that it's a jungle out there :-) http://www.geebeephoto.com/html/p06.html 3 more shots http://www.geebeephoto.com/temp/posts/squirrel.html --Graham
