Tips for photographing red squirrels

[Steven001]

There is a park/woodland area 5 minutes from my house and according to the website, is home to some red squirrels.

I have only ever seen grey squirrels when I've been there and was looking for some tips for finding/shooting (with my camera, of course) red squirrels.

Thanks.

I don't know where you are based, but if you really have Red and Grey squirels together, then grab a photo because you wont have for long.
Shoot with the camera for the Reds and shoot other ways for the Greys!!

East Ayrshire in Scotland. This is the park I was talking about: http://www.deancastle.com/

In some woodlands you may see squirrel feeders, this is a good place to have a look especially coming into the winter months. I have a few of red squirrels, shamefully taken with my N95 Nokia as it was all I had on me at the time. I remember counting 1 red and 8 gray that particular day.

As said above, if there are greys in the area the reds won't be there for long at all unless some control is being done.

Taser them first, then using pipe cleaners taped to their arms and legs put them in the pose you wish, photoshop the yes back in and bingo, great shots.
