You can't keep a squirrel on the ground - Mary Lasswell
Since lockdown, the animals behaviour have changed especially the squirrels in my local area. The seagulls and pigeons have encroached their territory. The squirrels are now scared, not so easy to photograph them anymore.
This female squirrel is pregnant. She came down from the tree a few times to get the groundnuts from me but she would not come close. When she got the nut she will climb up a tree keeping her distant until she finishes the nut before coming down again.
Although it is noted that animals can be seen more easily these days as compared to before lockdown. The sudden change of the way of life has certainly affected not only humans but of animals too.
Has there been less food for the squirrels ? Most probably it has as the seagulls have move inland to find food because the tourist trade has ceased and not much food for the seagulls at the seafront. Same goes for the pigeons.
So, it is not that a place had became quiet and other animals appear. They are actually forced to look for a greener pasture. Just an observation in my normal location shoot of squirrels.
