Photographer Captures Squirrel Flying Over Water with a Nut
Dutch wildlife photographer Dick van Duijn recently spent a day waiting in a hide in a forest in The Netherlands from sunrise to sunset. His patience paid off, and he managed to capture a viral photo of a squirrel leaping through the air over water with a walnut in its mouth.
For his latest shots, Van Duijn visited a forest last week with a Nikon D5 DSLR and Nikon 300mm f/2.8 VR II lens.
“I’ve been there so many times, but now everything was perfect,” the photographer tells PetaPixel. “The autumn colors, the light, and the squirrel who showed up in this beautiful setting.”
After sharing the photos on his Instagram, Van Duijn is once again seeing his work make the rounds on TV (it was shared by the biggest TV station in The Netherlands) and in newspapers.
