Eurasian Red Squirrels at the Prater (May 18th, 2025) - Vienna, Austria
Every morning during my time in Vienna (Wien), the sun came up a little after 5am and I would walk through the Prater (or Wiener Prater) looking for squirrels and birds. The Prater is a large public park in the 2nd District (Leopoldstadt) in Vienna. Most mornings were overcast or rainy, but the squirrels were active! I have never seen a Eurasian Red Squirrel (or Red Squirrel) before and was completely delighted. I returned to see my squirrels every morning and was so happy that I was able to check this species off my wish list! Some folks set up feeders on the edge of the park that faces the University. The Prater is a fantastic park. Lots of people were running or walking their dogs. What a wonderful way to start the day - just a short walk from our hotel. Taken on Sunday May 18th, 2025 (I was able to go out twice during that day - so some are from the afternoon).
