A walk in the park

After this squirrel spent the day pillaging the bird feeders, it sat on the deck rail and made eyes at me!

On Thursday morning I went to Monrepos to see my squirrel friends again. It was a wise decision as it turned out that this year's youngsters are already out and about. At first I didn't even notice that some of the squirrels were young ones, I was just surprised to see several squirrels I didn't know yet. They don't exactly look like babies anymore but are still smaller than their parents and have thinner tails and shorter ear tufts. In the photos it's even more difficult to tell which ones of the squirrels are the youngsters but the one in this shot is definitely one of them. They were playing and chasing each other and I had a lot of fun watching them although taking photos was a challenge.

got it....

I now have a blog post up about my trip to the red squirrels at Forest How, with more information about the trip, and how to get the best out of a visit yourself.

Red squirrel in Łazienki Park, Warsaw.

I had time to grab the camera as one of our resident squirrels found an easy way to defeat the built in security of the wire mesh on this feeder. I had only my 85mm manual focus lens to hand but this chap was so confident that it let me get quite near. I feel he deserved a feed before I relocated the feeder in the tree... There's a bit more detail viewed large, but I guess you all know what a squirrel looks like...

Snow? Where?

Squirrel eating nuts

This little guy was so cute, and was eating a nut just a few meters away from me up in the neighbor's tree. He accidentally dropped the nut, and turned and looked right at me with his tongue showing - I'm guessing he was blaming me.
