Eyeworth Pond, New Forest

This little fellow would not leave the birdseed alone today. Not one bird came to visit (when I was looking)! Shouts, door slamming, throwing flower pots..... nothing deterred him. I finally gave up and took his picture. Score one more for the squirrel team!

Between the rain our 'friendly' squirrel is back to feed on the produce of our garden! He looks a little worried that I'm standing pointing a big black thing at him. Seconds later he was off over the other side of the fence, abandoning his spoils.

I typically upload in small sets - don't just look at the latest one in my photostream as you might be missing something you'll like more.... and your comments are ALWAYS welcome :)

STEELING NUTS AGAIN..................COSTING ME A SMALL FORTUNE :-))

Squirrel, Botanical Gardens, Edinburgh... it's not often that I get close enough to animals to take pics but this little guy wasn't overly shy.

I was just taking out the trash when I spotted this little squirrel high up in a palm tree, nibbling away on a nut. I ran back upstairs to grab my Sony A7C II and snapped a few shots— and I'm glad that I did. Gotta love the little random wildlife encounters that Florida throws at you!

These squirrels lived in burrows popping up to look curiously at anything happening nearby.

I took this photo of my mother feeding one of the fox squirrels. Throughout the years, my family has established an amicable and unique relationship with most of the fox squirrels that reside in our yard.

Apparently at UW, just like Western, they aren't afraid of getting close to people...

This little guy has been hanging around our backyard deck. We noticed pretty quickly that he was missing a front paw, but have no idea what happened to it. He doesn't seem hampered by the loss though!

It is really difficult trying to photograph animals.
