Having some golden delicious apple :)
One of my highest paid images not this one though is of a grey squirrel so one should always capture all creatures :)
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.
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

Fun and games watching the cheeky squirrels on Brownsea Island. A big thank you to the people who view or comment on my photos and also add them as favourites.
This little didn't mind having his picture taken, he was just enjoying his pine cone snack. I found him while hiking the Beachcroft Trail in Acadia National Park, Maine.

“The eastern grey squirrel is the largest tree squirrel found in eastern Canada. It is predominantly a nut-eating species and its historic range coincided with the vast tracts of hardwood forests in eastern North America, in particular with oak and hickory trees.
Eastern grey squirrels Sciurus carolinensis commonly occur in two colour phases, grey and black, which leads people to think—mistakenly—that there are two different species. Black is often the dominant colour in Ontario and Quebec, toward the northern limits of the species’ range. Farther south the black phase is less common and is not found at all in the southern United States. This may indicate that the gene responsible for black coloration has some cold-weather adaptation associated with it.”
