It was heavily overcast this morning, and at lunchtime there was a touch of rain to add to the gloom. The kind of day when it might make more sense to put the camera away and read a book. I didn’t, and this morning came across a rabbit and a rat together at the edge of the pond. The photo isn’t up to much, but it’s an unusual pairing.<\/p>\n

The rest are more shots of various rats, the mainstay of the local wildlife for now. <\/p>\n

For those interested the the technicalities of getting shots at this time of year (and through the winter), the ISO settings of the four shots are 1000, 1600, 2500, 2500.<\/p>\n

And for those interested in website issues I’d just like to offer a word of thanks to the support team at Photocrati<\/a>. I’d encountered a problem on my Falmer Rats<\/a> album. The thumbnails weren’t launching the photo. I attributed this to a combination of upgrades (the Photocrati theme, which is the engine for this part of site, and the Nextgen gallery which I use for the larger albums). I got in touch with them and received fantastic support. They investigated the site and found and fixed the problem. The upgrades had been fine, and it wasn’t a plug-in conflict either. I’d managed to tweak a setting into something logically incoherent, so it was down to user error. I notified the problem yesterday evening, and by the middle of today the site was running perfectly again. Can’t really say better than that, and so a big thank you to Drew and the Photocrati team. Great service.<\/p>\n
