I hid behind my tripod next to a tree and waited patiently for these guys to get closer. They were probably 25 feet away when I took this. Much closer and my old Super Takumar 300mm wouldn't have been able to focus on them.

Hi mahanpots,

Very beautiful creatures, and nice frame, but maybe it's a park, in Sardinia, they are suspicious and don't let themselves to be approached.

Fine image... I wish I was still built like "Twiggy" and could do that.

Thanks for the comments. They were very suspicious. Here's a shot when they were closest and staring right at me.

Thanks. One of the little ones was bounding around playfully.
