The red squirrel moults its coat twice a year but the ear tufts and the tail are only moulted annually.
Sadly in Britain, numbers have decreased drastically in recent years due to the introduction of the American grey squirrel and habitat loss.

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.
I often take my camera with me when I go to fill the feeders up - just in case. On this occasion I struck lucky, there was a squirrel already feeding when I went out, so I stood back and waited for it to move away which it did after 5 minutes or so, having given me the chance to get a few snaps.
I then filled the feeders up and stayed close by to photograph the small birds hoping for the Nuthatch to appear.
I don't know who was the more surprised when the squirrel reappeared on the branch less than 12 feet away from me. It looked me up and down a few times shaking its tail and then went to the feeder.
This is one of the shots I managed; many of the others are not full body as I was too close and in some I can see my reflection in the eyes of the squirrel.
They have had a lot to eat in the woods this year so i've not seen as many at the feeders recently,lets hope we see a lot more soon !

It is a featherless day once again and I bring you the mate of last week's featherless star. I got this image as this squirrel was feeding under one of the feeders.

Arrowsic Island, Maine.
"Squirrel Point Light is a lighthouse marking the southwestern point of Arrowsic Island on the Kennebec River. It was established in 1898, as part of a major upgrade of the river's lights — the Doubling Point Light and the separate Range Lights on the point, Perkins Island Light, and Squirrel Point Light were all built at the same time. The light station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Squirrel Point Light Station on January 21, 1988.
Arrowsic Island is a large island on the Mid Coast of Maine, bounded by a number of tidal rivers. The main one, the Kennebec River, is on the west side of the island, flowing south from the major port and shipbuilding city of Bath to the Gulf of Maine. Squirrel Point is the southwestern tip of the island. The light station at Squirrel Point includes a tower, keeper's house, barn, boathouse, and oil house. The tower is an octagonal wood-frame structure, with the lantern house topped by a ventilator and surrounded by an iron railing and wooden bracketed gallery. A gabled sound signal chamber is attached to one side. The keeper's house is a two-story wood-frame structure with a cross-gable roof.
The United States Congress authorized improvements to the aids to navigation on the Kennebec River in 1895, and this station was built under that authorization in 1898. The oil house was added in 1906, and the station was automated in 1982. (Wikipedia)
The U.S. Coast Guard, which owns the property, has granted the Citizens for Squirrel Point a license to provide access to the site for the benefit of the public and maritime industry for purposes consistent with the repair, maintenance and historic restoration of the facility."

Red squirrels are widespread in Scotland (around 75 per cent of the UK population) – especially the Highlands, but also Southern Scotland and Fife – and in Northern Ireland.
The best places in southern England to see red squirrels are the Isle of Wight and Brownsea Island, in Poole Harbour.
Elsewhere in England and Wales, there are pockets on Anglesey and in northern England, such as Cumbria, Kielder Forest and a noted concentration of red squirrels around Formby.

Trying to hide among the shadows, but I see you.
The sunlight was piercing through the tree, just enough to shed a spot of light on it's head, body, and tail.
