Love these cheeky chappies :-)

Somebody once said the best camera to have is the one you have with you. So I decided to take my camera with me on my walks with my dog. Lots of squirrels around my area. So here is one that would not have been taken if I didn't bring my camera

Who doesn't like a nut snack. People who eat nuts live longer.

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.

Kim the squirrel, working her 9 to 5 as a doorman to the park. Nobody ever tips. Nobody even says hello anymore. Come to think of it, Kim can't remember ever being paid for this job either.

Cute and fluffy.

Finally got a shot of this guy. Friend or Foe?

This young Red Squirrel decides to check it is "All clear" before making a dash for the hazelnuts !

Squirrels in Lincoln Park are always happy to get a handout.

This little guy was snacking on acorns in our tree just a while ago. Looks like Mama had some babies!

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.

Its feeding time.

Slim pickens here lately, but at least I have my squirrels and Chickadees .... (-:

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.

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.
