Pentax DA L 55-300mm f4-5.8
Shot through my back door (on my knees - which is an accomplishment in itself given my mobility issues).
We've had a lovely Easter day. First of all, we went to watch the Sheffield Egg Run at the Children's Hospital. Then we went to Crookes Valley Park to see the pair of Great Crested Grebes we had heard had been doing the "Dance of Love". I got a few shots but they decided they weren't going to dance whilst I was there! We then went for a gorgeous meal and then onto the Botanical Gardens, where I managed a couple of squirrel shots. Finally we went off to St George's Tower to see the pair of breeding peregrines live instead of on the webcam. One of them was present on the platform, but was it George or was it Mildred?
Although this squirrel is real, it's also the work of a taxidermist. The once-living rodent is on display for educational purposes at a nearby nature center.

This squirrel was on the tree outside our house. My daughter gave it some food and it got vdry trusting. I got like, 4 feet from it.
I haven't seen her in weeks and was worried about her. She must have been trying to get her babies/teens out of the nest. She was booted out of my backyard by two other females. I was so happy to see her back!
I don't see many squirrels here at all. They can be found south of me, but not where I live. When I went to Illinois a couple of months ago, I was hoping to catch a few shots of some Sciurus niger. These are some of my favorites.
