Very nice picture!

I am really enjoying these types of images atm. Trying to convey the ability of the animal to blend in with the environment instead of making them standout

Got this guy in the local national park late this afternoon. It was overcast with drizzle and just right for this Marsupial Mouse to get out and about.

It looks so cute! What camera did you take this picture with? It turned out very well. Unfortunately, I am not good at photography with small animals.

Thanks
I was using an R5 with a EF 300mm 2.8 II with a 1.4 extender. ISO was 12,800 so I was pleased with the result. I normally shoot birds so small animals like this guy are very few and far between. I was lucky with this guy as they move real quick but then seemed freeze hoping he would not be obvious.

Australia seems to be the home of some of the cutest and deadliest creatures on earth...
Great pictures, some of them I would never have dared taking...(I hate s....ing my pants)

Went for a wander up to the Tasmanian Highlands the other day looking specifically for some birds for a photo comp I intend to put some entries in to. Didn't quite get anything of a good enough quality for that but still had a nice day out and came home with a few decent images. All shot on the R6 with Sigma 150-600c
