It wouldn't even let me get close. The advantage I had was that I was shooting from indoors through the window. So there was little or no apparent movement.
I was also using a zoom lens, so I could stand off a little distance away from the window.

Once it saw me show myself, even at a good distance, it wouldn't even wait.

I similarly captured a snake recently and had the same experience.
I would take good shots through the window, but it scampers off at any slight sight of me.
