I left early this morning to photograph Pteromys volans orii.
But when I arrived at my planned spot, the squirrels had already departed from their nest.
Ordinarily, Pteromys volans orii are active at sunrise and sunset, but today they had left before sunrise.
The morning sun was only just starting to illuminate the area, so these squirrels were definitely early risers.
