Squirrely on the porch of his feeder - he really enjoys having a food supply that the jays can't get into :^)
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.

Squirrels in trees usually don’t hold still long enough for me to shoot them, but this one did. Doncha love the smile?

The red squirrel is native to Britain, but its future is increasingly uncertain as the introduced American grey squirrel expands its range across the mainland. There are estimated to be only 140,000 red squirrels left in Britain, with over 2.5 million greys. The Forestry Commission is working with partners in projects across Britain to develop a long-term conservation strategy that deters greys and encourages reds.
It was hard to get a clear shot through all the snow. She didn't seem to mind it too much. She spent much of the day just standing on my deck rail in the snow, occasionally fetching peanuts, taking them up the tree to the birdhouse where she stores them, and coming back for more. I gave her some filberts which she carried into the "cat house' on the deck and hid behind the fleece blanket in there. I guess if she had wanted a warm place out of the snow she could have stayed in there. Missy has decided this winter to avoid going out when it is cold, and she has never gone into the cat house as we had planned (My husband built it..like a small doghouse)
This squirrel was eating the sunflower seeds the birds knocking of the feeder above. I now have two squirrels that stop by in the mornings.
