Excellent advice Brian!
I try to stay far enough away so I don't seem threatening to them. And I try to approach them from the side and not head on. And really, size matters - the bigger they are, the farther away I am.

Hi Don.
Really nice, perfect parting in the grass (reeds?) really frames the shot perfectly.

Cheers, Graham.

Why do meerkats get all the love? Here is a ground squirrel auditioning for Disney.

Lovely light. Nice shot, clbayley.

Hi clbayley.
I think the answer to your question is meerkats look a bit cuter, and ground squirrels can't sell insurance. : ;D
Very nice shot, good light, nice pose and I like the background too.

Cheers, Graham.

Not a meerkat, just a mere cat.....and pissed off because the silly human is standing in her box....

Such black eyes...check that cat for a soul...

Hi Foo.
Really great shot of one of my favourite critters, where abouts do you find yours as the range for the Reds is quite small.
I am on the Isle of Wight where we have no greys at all and we wish to keep it that way.

Cheers, Graham.

Nice Red Squirrel Foo , we don't see any on the coast but we have enough of these.

thanks, this was at Lockerbie, south west Scotland. Where I live in central Scotland the greys have taken over. I have a vague recollection of seeing some reds in the princess street gardens in Edinburgh something like 40 years ago - this is the first time I've seen them outside of photos since.

If I learned anything, it's that they move much faster than I do with the camera. I have lots of photos of red blurs, tail disappearing round a tree and such like

Really nice how he/she anticipates to your camera


Here is the red panda that knows how to anticipate as well ;D
