Just returned from a wonderful two weeks in the north of Scotland with Steviethewaspwhisperer and Blackbearjim. One of the first of many things they had lined up for me was red squirrels, which I've been wanting to see for years. Of course, as Stevie pointed out the squirrels are all red up there, so to them they are "just squirrels" :-)
Grey squirrel at Warley Place, using a fallen log on the forest floor for a vantage point. D7100_25905.NEF. Many thanks for views, comments and favourites.
This little guy comes to the window every morning and stares in until you bring him his morning peanuts.
Not been out taking photo's recently due to the weather and other commitments. Was pleased to see this chap in the back garden. Totally unedited. Raw straight to jpeg. Nikon D5500 with Sigma 150-600 contemporary. 600mm, f6.3, ISO1000, 1/80sec hand held.
I think this is a squirrel treefrog (as opposed to a green treefrog). I also hope what we are seeing is its tongue. These little ones and their relatives often keep me awake at night. Here, we see one resting on a saw palmetto frond.
Red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) standing on a grassy ground.
Wiewiórka (Sciurus vulgaris) stojąca na trawiastej ziemi.
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.
People often say to me " These red squirrels are'nt very well camoflaged are they?" Well I was only sat about 6mts away from this one in good sun light and you can see how its blending into the colour of the forest floor, plus all the higher branches of the Scots Pines are the same red colour as its front legs.
I'm a bit slow with commenting at the moment, between being out with the camera and catching up with friends plus for some reason my mobile broadband connection, which was fine all last summer is very slow, and when I comment it takes ages then says " We are having trouble posting your comment," GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR ( in place of the bad language )
Quand j'observe un écureuil, je me dis, ''C'est une bonne chose qu'ils ne soit pas plus gros.''
When I observe a squirrel, I say to myself, ''It's a good thing they are not bigger.''
A chance meeting with a photographer in a bird hide at Cragside the day before resulted in a recommendation of somewhere I could get close to a red squirrel. Sure enough the next morning after a short wait in the woodlands at Pow Hill near the Derwent Reservoir this rather srcuffy example showed up.

Interesting how they almost always draw one front paw up when they stop to look at you.
