After my *fun* attempt at capturing some Red Squirrels at Formby Point last week, I took comments and tips on board, and went to my local park the other day, armed with a big bag of Tescos finest roasted peanuts and some patience.
The location was Heaton Park in Manchester btw.
Getting on my belly and playing the baiting and waiting game paid off quite well. The grey squirrels seen around the park are quite brave, but the slightest noise can send them scuttling away again.
Also, this is my first attempt at properly post processing an image. After having read through the RSE manual completely, step by step I have processed this through RSE with very little tweaks here and there to what (I hope) is an acceptable image. Normally I just slide, drag, and hope until it looks about right. This was done step by step, in the coorect order (for the first time).
