squirrel up a tree

[turlough]

On my walk this afternoon I was lucky enough to get a passable photo of a Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) before it had disappeared further up the tree. As you can see from its greyish fur and the enormous ear tufts it's already grown its winter coat.

I'm so sorry! I'd forgotten to change to public. I hope you can see it now?

[yourlibrarian]

I can! Look at those tufty ears 🙂

[turlough]

The ears are what makes me love their winter coat so much, they're totally adorable!

That's a nice shot. Small grey squirrels scurry up and down the trees in my backyard at super speed.

Our squirrels are more wary of humans I think because you hardly ever see them in people's gardens. They're equally equipped with super speed though :-)

I have been trying to get a good shot of a squirrel for a long time now! Your guy is so cute with his lil ears :)

[turlough]

Good luck with that! This is the first time I've managed to get anything except a blur.
