    looks like i'm first again, i have a large archive of my photo's
    a few weeks ago my wife and i were camping an the edge of North Yorkshire Moors when we heard a strange scuttling underneath the groundsheet of our tent, i put i peice of bread down and waited camera poised, 20 minutes later he finally stuck his head out.

    just to say, my picture is of a Common Shrew and not a mole, i actually sat and watched it come and go back and forth under the ground sheet for 15 minutes, before i could get a good shot of it, at least half a dozen shots were deleted before the timing was right, so alas it was more patience than luck.

    WOW! IckleWeed, a really stunning photo of the dragonfly, such a clear sharp image would make a great desktop wallpaper. :eek:
