Curiouser and curiouser.

This little Sika pricket kept getting bolder and more curious as I sat clicking away with the camera. Sadly there was too much brush and reed in the way to allow more than two of the shots to come out. I must have been the first human he smelt, because eventually, having worked his way around me, he caught my scent and instead of going into immediate flight mode he kept sniffing, trying to work out what I was. I sat still, with him about five paces away bobbing his head up and down, until eventually he got bored and wandered off.
