It does not seem terribly pleased to see you.

Superb.

Very nice photo, but the little critter seems annoyed with you.

Couldn't resist mucking about with the otherwise fine photo ....

It's a cracking photos, but I certainly would not want to be bitten by one of these buggers. That entire Mustelidae family from  wolverine down to weasel know how to use their teeth.  :lol:

Thanks for the kind comments, and the edit Malcolm.
It is one of a pair that visit each evening- I put out food.
The have become accustomed to the security light and my presence.
Last night was the first attempt with the camera. They hear the autofocus bleep and scamper at the shutter noise, but return within a minute or so. That shot was around number 14 of 16 that I took, he was clearly getting p1ssed off with the paparazzi.

Doesn't the camera have a stealth mode or wildlife mode on it that suppresses the noise of the autofocus and the shutter?

[Wildfisher]

I prefer the one with the shining eyes. It's more artistic and menacing.

So much for the "solitary animal" stuff.....
