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.
A quick visit to Morton Lochs (before the car park and hides are closed for renovation for next week) where the squirrels are feverishly stocking up their winter larders. Always on the move and at times just too close for my 300mm lens. I noticed several of them had obvious signs of squirrel pox/leprosy which was sad to see, but didn't seem to slow down those affected. This individual appeared to have no obvious signs, so hopefully some have immunity.
Last year I returned from a walk in the 'Schwäbische Alb' in Germany. As I passed a garden with a large fir tree, I got a feeling somebody's watching me...

There are several red squirrels that frequent my garden, and the nuts and sunflower seeds they find there.
It`s always a joy to observe these charismatic acrobats :)
This little guy was snacking on acorns in our tree just a while ago. Looks like Mama had some babies!
Squirrels in trees usually don’t hold still long enough for me to shoot them, but this one did. Doncha love the smile?
My best holiday wishes to all.

Those long-tailed seeds which spin down from the trees just suggest a comparison to helicopters, so that's what we've always called them. Apparently the seed part is quite tasty to squirrels. There are an uncountabillion of them rotating down right now, so squirrels are in hog heaven. (I suspect that that is an Iowa/Midwest term)

Red Squirrel at my feeding station in the Scottish Highlands. I offer workshops here, please contact me or visit my website (www.karenmillerphotography.co.uk) for details.
Squirrels breed once or twice a year and give birth to a varying number of young after three to six weeks, depending on species. The young are born naked, toothless, and blind. In most species of squirrel, only the female looks after the young, which are weaned at around six to ten weeks of age and become sexually mature at the end of their first year

These squirrels are very curious. Instead of running away from me, they ran toward me, examining my camera lens.
Finalmente conseguà esta foto cuando esta inquieta amiga, que se escondÃa de mÃ, miró justo a la cámara.

I finally got this picture when this restless friend, who was hiding from me, looked at the camera.
