Thats a great shot - looks like it's posing for you.  We had one a few weeks ago that started visiting every morning but as soon as you opened the door, it was off like a shot. Very camera shy - it hasn't been back since then.

While out for our snowy walk yesterday we saw herons, Canadian geese, a kestrel, and a fox but could only get the geese to stand still!

Jon - haven't made up my mind about the auto iso  function.  Needs a bit more playing with - initial impressions are good but....................although noise is not too much on some images some are really bad..
