Ottawa West

Not the best photograph, but glad to get it. My first shot of a mink with a fish. It was quite dark in the woods and there were a lot of branches in front of the Mink. I managed a few shots through a small opening in the shrubbery. Looks like it caught a Bass to bring back to its nearby den.

Nikon D800 ,Nikkor 80-400mm f/4.5-5.6D ED VR AF
1/1250s f/5.6 at 400.0mm iso3200 full exif

Well captured Hank !!!

Wow! This is an amazing shot, Hank. A client told me a mink killed all his koi and I wasn't sure I believed him but, after seeing this I shouldn't have doubted him. One of our biggest koi disappeared without a trace. This mink makes me wonder if one of his relatives was the culprit! Great work!
