European Fieldhamster III

Hi folks another frame in my Hamster series ...
i am trying to post different stuff , but somehow difficult as they are quite boring in their daily life .... at least what they showed .
Being very skittish for the most time , one is not able to move. around much ... specially when one has a Hamster right in front of the lens .
The Hamsters coming out of their burrows , start collecting food and then returning back into their holes . They are very aggressive amongst each other and very seldom they come across each on the surface ... at least when I saw them . And each time they were showing aggressive behavior .

This guy was captured in a classical pose when they are checking out their environment ... but isn't he CUTE ??? Love that pose .... well worth the long journey to Vienna

So cute...pouches full:S3: this is not boring at all Andreas, time well spent with those hamsters!
Lovely quizzical pose and framing works. PP work looks good, I like the colours, greens just about right, tonality is great. Sweet pose. Love it:cheers:

Kind regards,

Thanks Gabriela ... I knew you would love the pose of this little chap :bg3: .
They are so cute to watch ...albeit being very skittish in 95 % of the sightings .
I got attacked twice by one of them .... as I was in his way back into a hole , you never know which hole they do disappear after they have filled their pouches with food . Luckily I was kneeling .... one stopped in front of me , stood up , started screaming and jumped into my direction just a few inches away . As I had the 400 mm lens on the R3 no chance to document that behavior . Only a cell phone would have helped in that case .

Cheers Andreas
