... but now I realise:

a) I don't know what "brand" the little critter is
b) I do know it's not the one I went looking for
c) they spend too much of their time being just too far away
d) they don't stay still
e) I really haven't got the patience!

Ah - see I knew you'd know that sort of detail. Ta! (I'd best get researching on the interweb, hadn't I!?)

Have a butchers at my other quite good shot this morning - should probably be "drying out"
