Hi Bob, there's not much to C&C about here. These are very "clinical" and "text-booky" shots of a rodent. Get on your belly, and shoot said rodent with a 400mm lens, and show him against a beautiful blurry background, with some expression on his face - and then people will be excited. Otherwise, these are unremarkable.
I hope you take this direct and blunt criticism the right way!
Next time you see this guy, get flat on the ground with a long lens and look him square in the face
Generally agree with above comments / approach - but I can't see the point in using the 'gut contacts mud' approach
I'd suggest trying an angle finder ... and crouching ... you can get lower and it's more comfortable, imo. Only other bit of kit likely to be needed is a beanbag or similar ... mine's a £1 shop neoprene tablet sleeve with about 2+ kg of birdseed.
Doing this at water level is a different ball game, tho.
