Success!

(Sciurus vulgaris)

Who knew squirrels ate mushrooms? And could look so cute while doing so?

This was one of the first red squirrels we saw on our holidays... and it wasn't an easy one to photograph. It always seemed to stop to get some food where a plank of wood was obstructing it's head, or behind a wall where only it's tail was visible. As soon as I got the composition I wanted, it sped off, leaving a 'tail blur'. I got many 'tail blur' shots before getting this one. After that, it ran down the tree and into the forest at full speed. Some animals will do anything to make photography hard.......

Wypluj orzech jak do mnie mówisz, bo nic nie rozumiem ;-)

Squirrels,

All we really are is Squirrels,

We're being hunted we are Squirrels,

We are appealing we are Squirrels,

We want to gather nuts,

But, people splatter our guts,

When they're on a country drive,

It isn't easy to survive,

back in the other day,

I saw a squirrel get blown away,

They served him on a dinner tray,

They baked him into a souffle,

Squirrel season opens up today,

If you're a squirrel run away,

I don't know what else I should say,

Please call the A.S.P.C.A.

Fur coats from us are made,

Fur is nice but, I like suede,

They scrape our fur off with a blade,

And never bother with first aid,

We squirrels really like to play,

And we like to catch some rays,

Please don't kill us this we pray,

We're cute and harmless anyway,

Squirrels!,

We're not delicious,

Squirrels!,

We are not racoons,

Squirrels!,

Don't live in palm trees,

Squirrels!,

or in your bathrooms!

Squirrels!,

That's all we really are is squirrels,

Isn't it fine I am a squirrel,

Please help us save us,

We are squirrels!,

I wanna whip out my, squirrel!

Squirrels!,

Squirrels!,

Squirrels!,

Squirrels!,

Squirrels!,

Squirrels!,

Squirrels!,

Squirrels!,

Squirrels!,

Squirrels!,

SQUIRRELS!

Taken during my first visit to Brownsea Island for 15 years.

I'm not going to leave it that long again to return - a beautiful island and a real stronghold for Red Squirrels on English soil.

Red Squirrel

One of the Red Squirrels at Eskrigg Nature Reserve in Lockerbie. These images were taken with us standing only around 8ft away from the squirrel, which it seemed perfectly content with us being there watching it feed.

Red Squirrel - Formby point, Lancashire.

The Reds seem to have had a very good year, we've never seen so many. This one is already prepared for winter with its ear tufts! Seen at Nairn caravan park.

Paid our first visit to Brownsea Island and my what a treat.

These squirrels made the trip well worthwhile along with plenty of mother wildlife.

All walking was on level ground which made our visit s much more enjoyable,

If you get the chance go over and discover the delights for yourself - there is also an excellent cafe.

Yes - who's watching who though?
