Ok, Here I start a thread where I expect more suirrel shots from around the World. Please join in with your photos or comments. This image is not 100% in focus, but I posted it anyways because I like the pose s/he is in!

Cuteness makes up for the lack of focus. Still a good shot John.

Oh! Yes... it is beautiful... and look at that long tail...
Great idea of the thread, John!! Thanks

Great shot. The paws are in focus at least.
The Shuttertalk Squirrel Thread! - Janika - Jan 31, 2006
Ok, Thanx guys / galls, now it is your turn, so pony-up those squirrel shots!

I wish I had any squirrel-shots.
In fact, I wish I had any animal shots! I think I don't have enough patience to wait for hours in the forest to get a shot of a animal. Or I haven't had any luck (yet) seeing a squirrel or any other animal. Yet a good one, Janinka.

Do we have squirrels in Australia?
I'll keep my eye out for them... or maybe I'll just take some photos of big rats running around my house. Just kidding..

I just love the little bugger stealing the donut.
The Shuttertalk Squirrel Thread! - Janika - Feb 1, 2006
That's too funny Bob, Thanx for sharing!

rofl... awesome shots, Craig! Those squirrels look like real pests! Reminds me of chip & dale...

Wahey! Squirrels! I just LOVE these little fellas, have them running all over the garden.
Here's a couple of pix - first one I call "Hector"

and here's a snapshot of another one which shows a bit more detail of the funny, fat little bottom lip they have.

Hey Pol!
Hector's amazingly cute! And great pic you have there - tack sharp, bright and beautiful.
Methinks Hector is a she though...

Cos I've seen him before.

shuttertalk Wrote:Hey Pol!Yeah 'Hector's' a girl - but we give most of them boys' names. We know for sure that "Kevin" is a boy because he showed his dangly bits one time.

We also know that "Sabrina" - aka the "Big Fat Momma is a girl, also a right little raver always at it if the numbers in the garden are anything to go by. :o
I 'train' them to come very close, which is how I managed to get that one of 'Hector'. She was maybe only 3-4ft away and I was able to zoom in very close with the Tamron 28-300 - so that's the full frame.
W gave them a couple of Nutteries for Christmas so they now have a constant supply of food along the fence. It's great fun watching them lift the lids to get at the food. I'll see if i can dig out one or two more old pics - possible one of the Big Fat Momma when she was awaiting yet another 'happy event' - randy little tart.

I'll see if I can dig it out, maybe I can find one of his Momma too.

Not a very good shot, just a crop from a snapshot taken from quite a distance - but it shows his fascinating paws of his back legs as well as his budding family jewels.

Great shot Janika, Crazy angle!
The Shuttertalk Squirrel Thread! - Janika - Feb 2, 2006
Thanx Bob; s/he was really like that when I shot this image, kind of upsidedown. Sometimes they run up n down on tree trunks like this!
The Shuttertalk Squirrel Thread! - shuttertalk - Feb 3, 2006
Man, John, that down-the-tree squirrel of yours is fantastic!
The Shuttertalk Squirrel Thread! - Janika - Feb 3, 2006
Thanx S.T, Appreciate the comments and feedback! Cheers...
