Great tips indeed! I'd like to add that a telelens that can come quite close is very handy. Being able to capture then life-size from some 20 inch distance frightens them less that "that big eye" coming as close as four inch, or less.

Makes me think of that great saying by Sogyal Rinpoche: "What is the greatest happiness: being able to scratch when you got bitten by a mosquito, or no be bitten at all?"

And now I'm off to friend Gradient's pics.

There are no Borg. All resistance is fertile.
