Put some nuts down and they will sit and eat them so, plenty of time to get a shot. They can't resist food at any time of the year.

Good thinking. It isn't unusual for me to miss the obvious so thank you!

Wonderful shot and the DOF works so well. The sharpness and composition are also very strong.

If you are walking through woods in Autumn/Winter and come across a Squirrel stop, as it will wait to see which direction you will go before making a move. Plenty of time to get a shot.

Waited five minutes for this chap to make the leap.
