Don't flash your red at me chum!

I often think that grey squirrels are getting too clever at masquerading as red. And the sunshine brings out all of their colour.

Well I've got this one well and truly sorted and rather enjoyed taking away the colour to reveal its true identity. More a trace of red than a flash of red here.

Great shot of this cute little critter! I agree with Rachel . . . the sun through his tail is rather spectacular.
