Today I saw only squirrels steps.



But I met elk!







It was not very patient and galloped from me after several shuts.

Wonderful pictures Olga.
Are they from a daily nature walk, or do you take them on your way to work? If so, I definitely need to change jobs.

It's a forest in Moscow. Very large (5x5 km or more). I live in two steps.

Thank you Peter!
They are from a walk at the forest near my house in Moscow. I often ski in the morning and always take a rucksack with my camera and  food for birds.

Having taken my camera out for the first time since the turn of the year at the weekend, I thought I'd show some pictures of birds from a local country park. The are regularly fed next to the car park and are fairly used to people, so the following are taken with the camera resting on the car roof. The light was terrible, dull and overcast (so I increased the speed of the camera to ISO 2000, for the photography nerds out there); I was pleasantly surprised to get any usable images.....

1. Coal Tit (Parus ater)
2. Blue Tit (Parus caerulus)
3. Great Tit (Parus major)
4. Nuthatch (Sitta europaea)
5. Chaffinch (Fringilla colelebs) - male

Nice top-of-the-car cavalcade, Peter. I've actually had all of those in my garden this winter.

Olga: More great pictures. The squirrel in my garden is now out every day feeding on sunflower seeds - he/she looks just like yours, but is very shy and I can't get close enough for pictures...
