Loved the video & welcome back! I'm sure the Skellefteå squirrels will have a welcoming party waiting for you at the airport gates!

[@DavidinLapland]

How long are you coming for? I had no issues when I drove over from London in early May, all I was asked at the bridge was where I was going. I'd had my covid test at South Mimms for the trip, but other than that, there were no dramas on the 36 hour drive up. So I can't see you having any issues. There have been plenty of tourists up here in Norrbotten. Ah yes, and many thanks for the personally signed calendar, it's up and ready for the New Year. Perhaps you should bring any excess stock and ship it from here.

Squirrels are so adorable 💗

Dani documenting squirrels is so calming and nice, this must be a very unique thing to do. Seeing someones greatest passion is beautiful, really looking forward to the swedish squirrels again.

[@y7a7s7hua]

Dani, your spot on as all ways. Please keep on doing what you do! Your a pleasent light light in a world of growing darkness. Love Ya!!!!!!!

[@keithlambell1970]

The squirrels were so comfortable with you being there (as long as you had nuts for them!). Wonderful.

[@danielstreettriple]

2:15 : what a show off : up side down, eating, while hanging on his rear feat 😁😁

[@zeehuss7275]

They are so cute and comfortable. The squirrels are like "Hey our photographer is here, let's make some poses"

[@katrinkreisch2114]

The pictures are beautiful as always I love how comfortable they are with you how close they come

[@narutodayo]

Cool, definitely inspires me to get out there and photograph some squirrels.

Amazing moments..Beautiful Nature and Animals

Dani Connor Wild great video.

[@robertclarkguitar]

I thought about you last week. I heard a scratching on my back window. It looked like a mouse I thought but turned out to be a baby Ga US southern Flying Squirrel. He was tiny but had all his fur. The absolute cutest ever. I have some clips of him trying to release him after a few nights. Sadly he wouldn't eat but he did get his strength back. He tried to chew on a nut in the grass and hope his momma came that night as he disappeared the next morning. I feared a cat would get him. He sat calling all night. Squeak. I didn't want him to starve with me. Tried puppy milk and syringe and all. No avail. He was at least 5 to 6 weeks so maybe he was able to climb the tree too. I feel so bad. I called all over for support center and nobody would help. They said release him and momma would hope come. So I hope he did. I had no idea we had these guys in out area. Many baby grey squirrels.

[@sergebrunet4218]

Hi there Robert ! I filmed outside my apparment some animals eating on the grass one groundhog 3 squirrels and a black cat but it s a older videocam with tapes but i managed to kind of transfer it on a newer camcorder just to be able to put it on youtube it s called ( 3 friendly animals ).

[@keithgrover6468]

As much as i love all squirrls red are the best for me take care and safe travels

[@davepollock9362]

One thing I noticed during the video was the Pink Floyd shirt. Best music ever! Sorry Beatles, your great too.

[@Debssssss]

Dani you are so calm and do such an amazing job at narrating and so helpful to others who like squirrels 🐿 I wish you much success in every thing you do,

Lol he saw the nuts🤣

LOL MAGIC BAG 🤣

[@ericcartrette6118]

Animals know who they can trust. They are drawn to my son because he is a gentle person. I love to see how the different animals Dani photographs have very little fear of her because they sense that she will not harm them.

[@Littlewing6was9]

Great video and love the t shirt. Have fun in Sweden

[@JonathanKimberley]

Yes, squirrels make great subjects. I always see a few at my local cemetery where they are very used to people passing through. Some of them come very close, especially if I have nuts with me.

[@tyroneboraine4948]

I enjoyed that thank you 🙏

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

I live in the UK and I am lucky enough to be less than one hundred yards from our park and squirrels. I love the way they seem to be stuck to the trees and can run up and down them as if the trees were lying flat on the ground. I enjoy going over and just watching them, but I do photograph them as well. We also have a caravan in Hamsterley forest, the squirrels come down onto the bird table to eat, and I often have a photograph of them and birds eating at the same time. Why did the police come over to you, I would have thought they would be happy to see someone taking photographs instead of damaging the forest

[@houzbizness303]

Hi John. Nothing threatening said by the policeman. He was just letting Dani know that the park was about to close.

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

@@houzbizness303 i did not know that, i am lucky over here as the foset and park do not close at all

So Charming... And the Squirrel`s are too..... Great video Dani... :-))) xxx

[@zoltanantal2266]

best fhotographer

[@hauke3644]

Thanks for the advice! For the moment, I've found another solution: look out of my bedroom's window, where they ate all of fir cones... But a cone isn't the perfect photo environment, so a visit to a park might still be a good idea. Here around our house, they are mostly too fast and too shy as soon as they feel watched at.

[@Calvin.The.Unfindable]

what a great video, some awesome tips for us there. and you got some great images too. thank you for brightening up my day with your vid :)

[@keithjohnson5398]

Looks similar to the squirrels here in Hollywood, have a couple (sometimes more) that eat the spilled seeds from the bird feeder. And they're quite easy to photograph and will allow me to get quite close.

[@fanofoldfans9238]

Dani, hello from Southern California. I really enjoy your videos and the high quality. Very professional stills and narration. You have some very high grade technology. I purchased and framed "Ghost sitting in the snow" merchandise store and it makes me smile and dream everyday when I see it on my office wall. The frame is special also, made of rustic wood with red stain matching ghost. I hope you film more of those cool furry friends when you go back to Sweden. Maybe you can find the same family group?

This has been a great video, it’s not just boring information it’s got some really funny parts. Like when you shake the bag of nuts and actually surprise yourself that it works. 🤣😂🤣

[@alfredobaraccomiller6257]

"Shaking a bag of nuts will attract the squirrels".....and policemen too.

[@n6vcw]

I often use a 200-500mm zoom lens with image stabilization and achieve spectacular results with it. The image stabilization allows me to use a smaller aperture for greater depth of field at longer focal lengths with slower shutter speeds and still maintain excellent sharpness, even in a dimly lit area without having to increase the ISO to a point where image quality would suffer. The subject has to be photographed while it's fairly still, however. Any quick movements of the subject makes for a blurry image. I also find that using spot metering is essential, so that the subject is properly exposed. Even with matrix metering, the camera's meter is easily fooled when the background is much brighter than the subject.

[@aerocap]

Awesome video from an awesome girl.

[@sinetwo]

Nice! I saw your talk at Park Cameras a while back, good fun ☺ Do you have any tips on how to attach nuts to trees in an environmentally friendly manner? I'm thinking of getting an upwards facing shot

[@BMW7series251]

Hi Dani, love the bokeh effect with your 300mm lens. I have 50mm and 58mm 1.2f lenses with great bokeh. Converted to use on my digital camera.

[@ancientone5903]

If Bob Ross was still alive and watched this, he would be really interested in your works about the Squirrels.

[@jeruledo8293]

Por lo que he visto en este video creo que entiendes español. Si es asi tengo que decirte que me gustan mucho tus videos. Por que me recuerdan cuando era pequeño e iba a casa de mi abuela, la cual estaba rodeada de bosques de pinos. Me pasaba horas y horas buscando y observando ardillas. La verdad es que nunca se me ocurrió ofrecerles frutos secos para que se me acercaran. Por desgracia ese bosque no existe ya por culpa de los ganaderos y su mania de talar todo para convertirlo en ectareas de prados. Saludos.

Very trusting squirels always be a continuous supply of food , and there be easier to see as urbanised there used to humans good for photography.

Or you could just visit the Royal Łazienki park in Warsaw, Poland - there's tons of the little buggers here, who will climb you for nuts.

[@freeze1975]

Hi Dani! Which settings do you use when shooting wildlife? :)

[@tigertony7724]

Sometimes I see squirrels in our backyard sometimes fat squirrels 🐿

[@dmrcflyr2]

Dani I just found your channel today and so glad I did! I am a beginning photographer/videographer. Actually I have been shooting videos for about 5 years, but wildlife photography is new to me. I love this video as I feed animals in my front yard and have an abundance of squirrels to photograph. While I do not have the best equipment and certainly now a powerful zoom lens I can get fairly close to my animals. I would have loved to see the ISO, aperture, and shutter speeds listed on your stills. I still have some issues getting these things right. I tend to shoot mostly in AV mode as it is what I am most comfortable with. Full manual gives me too many things to try to process to get good shots, but I will get there. Perhaps a silly question, but are you shooting mainly in RAW and then color grading afterward? Or are many of these images just as they came from the camera?

"Shaking a bag of nuts will attract the squirrels" Me, an intellectual: *So they run after every guy they see?* On a serious note, that is a chonky ground squirrel, holy moly! If I hadn't seen the flufftail behind it I would've guessed it's a groundhog of some kind.
