This is the first Red Squirrel i've seen. These were rife many years ago, but the Grey Squirrels finished them off. I think they're really cute.
woke up early yesterday and had a fun time shooting the critters, crows and ships...

Tulip Festival in Saint Petersburg, Russia, May 14, 2016
It was posing, and allowed me to take a few nice pictures from a very close distance.

This cheeky little chap kept appearing and posing for his photo as we walked around Locke Parke
If you zoom, you can get a perspective from the reflection in the squirrels eye of how it views the world...much like a 10mm lense.
This was amazing! This mama squirrel was moving all of her babies from one nest to another. The babies were screaching very loudly. I've never seen anything like that before.

Beautiful to watch and to photograph...a red squirrel in its natural woodland setting.
The red squirrel is the UK's only native squirrel species, and was once a common sight across all of mainland Britain. Today, red squirrels are sadly absent from most of England and Scotland’s central belt, affected by the spread of the grey squirrel, introduced in the 19th century.
Only 120,000 red squirrels remain in Scotland, around 75% of the total UK population. Scotland is one of the only havens left for red squirrels, with areas in the north still remaining grey-free.

A quick visit to Morton Lochs (before the car park and hides are closed for renovation for next week) where the squirrels are feverishly stocking up their winter larders. Always on the move and at times just too close! Had to resort to 100mm macro at times. I noticed several of them had obvious signs of squirrel pox/leprosy which was sad to see, but didn't seem to slow down those affected. This individual appeared to have no obvious signs, so hopefully some have immunity.
On our first day in London these squirrels (Regents park) were SO close to us and so obliging it was untrue! The next day we brought along some fruit and nuts. Here it is pictured eating a raisin. This one preferred the fruit to the nuts. What a healthy squirrel!
This neighbor of mine is kind of fearless. Yesterday it was doing acrobatics by eating from my suet feeder (will post that picture later). Today it came to my backdoor and ate all the sunflower seeds I had spread there in the morning. He didn't budge when I tried to talk him out of it. Even gave me a pose "do not disturb" kind of. This one is the closest my camera could focus. He came so close that I felt like maybe he wanted to get in. Brave soul!!!
Note: You can see my house in its eye :)

trust can be a dangerous thing. luckily for this young squirrel everything worked out ok – he got to keep eating and i got an awesome photograph. this little guy let me get within 3-5 feet of him to snap this photograph of his evening snack-time.

The grey squirrel's in London's regent's park are so used to people that they'll quite fearlessly rob you of any food you might be eating - like this one did when I was sitting down eating a strawberry & yoghurt breakfast bar (my favourite!)
He got his just desserts however ( . . or didn't) when two jackdaws chased him across the field, hopping & darting in the bushes & promptly robbed him of it.
So he was only left with this small piece . . . which is still more than I got !!
