After spending time with dad yesterday, I went for a walk, without his little dog this time, to try and photograph some of the red squirrels in Braemar. Although it's only 17 miles from where we live, there are many, many more red squirrels up there. They were skipping and jumping around in the woods, however, not many of them wanted to stay still for long enough for me to photograph them. So, I came home with lots of photos, but most of them blurred in some way, shape or form. This little red seemed to be too preoccupied with his food to notice me though, so I got a few good ones of him. :-)
They are so much nicer than our grey ones. Such pretty colour & their eyes look brighter. I hope they are continuing to flourish in Scotland these days....they are all grey here although we used to see one sort of two tone when at the farm. We just have the one grey one visiting here so far...it has a very white chest so easily identifiable. Fave for this little star!
