Ichneumon stramentor: Best find of this year so far!

Paul Iddon

At least I think that is what it is anyway. This little Ichneumon is actually around an inch long, but it moved non-stop and trying to focus manually on the Venus lens was almost impossible! Nabbed a few that were presentable through perseverance...

These were taken at three different parts of a six foot wide fence panel and I had to constantly chase it - hence the light changed as the angles did.

1/250sec, f/11, ISO 160, Venus 60mm on the 70D.

Lovely captures Paul - yes Ichneumons are not the easiest to photograph.
