Such an endearing species, I really wish they were more prominent in England.
Throughout the whole of 2014 I saw a grand total of 1 in England - but thankfully there are good numbers still thriving in parts of Scotland.
This was taken in Dumfries & Galloway; you can click on his ear-tufts for an improved view :-)
A squirrel in the forrest chewing on a nut. He took off as some as he heard the click from the camera.
Sorry for bombarding you with squirrel photos. I spent quite a lot of time with the squirrels at Monrepos last Sunday and took many photos. Due to the gloomy weather and a lot of work I haven't had any possibility to look for other photo ops this week.
The squirrel in this shot is a young female, very curious and not worried at all by my presence. In the last two or three years Monrepos has become quite popular among animal photographers and I guess the younger squirrels more all less grew up among people and cameras.

The Eastern Grey Squirrel was introduced to Britain and Ireland in the 1870’s as a curiosity and has resulted in the indigent Red Squirrel becoming displaced. The grey is a larger and fitter squirrel than the red and so has taken much of the red’s food. The grey is classified as an invasive species.
In an effort to reduce the population, an initiative in 2006 encouraged people to eat them although this doesn’t appear to have caught on. Americans consider it to be the best meat of the woods.
This cute and clever creature is here to stay but small red squirrel colonies continue to thrive in places in the UK and Ireland in areas where the grey squirrel population is carefully controlled or absent.
First shot he starts eating the nut.
Second shot he has eaten the nut.
