Squirrel

Came across this little Squirrel on the footpath around the boating lake helping himself to the food left for the ducks.

[Lou Ann]

They are happy to eat anyone’s food!

[Nova]

I'm sure he was happy to come across this little snack. :)

[Babs]

So cute. We put out seed for the lorikeets and corellas and we noticed tonight a Mum and baby possum eating the seed, so we have put out some carrot and a few grapes to add to their diet. The possums are so tame the just stand by while we put the food on the tray for them.

[Henri Russell]

Such a cute squirrel. His coloring is quite different.

[Rosie Kind]

He looks a cheeky fellow! Lovely shot

[Sue]

Lovely image. I like the way his coat almost matches the ground. It is interesting that he seems to have a touch of red on his back and tail.

@dide Thank you for your comment I thought he was cute as well Dianne:)

[Peter]

@gilbertwood Thank you very much Denise:)

[Peter]

[Peter]

@onewing So nice to hear your looking after your local wild life to Babs:)

[Peter]

@henrir Thank you Henri he is colourful for sure:)

[Peter]

@rosiekind Thank you Rosie he didn't mined me at all I could get in quite close:)

[Peter]

@suesouthwood Thanks for your comment Sue, could be the result of his dad having a close encounter with a little female red squirrel, who knows:)

[Ron]

I'm going to dish out my usual comment whenever I see this particular creature: "You know, we really need more squirrel photos here on 365" - with tongue is firmly in cheek! ;) Background - I have a running joke with @Weezilou regarding squirrel photos. I just can't resist cracking on them! Yours is a great capture though. :) In the interest of fairness, though, I am requesting a seagull photo!

[Louise & Ken]

Wow Peter, I'm so pleased that Ron called "what he calls" this running joke to my attention! What a rare specimen you captured here, clearly a red evolving into a grey or visa versa! Do continue to post more as you come across this lesser-known variety! Be sure to let Ron @stray_shooter know when you do so!

[Peter]

@stray_shooter @stray_shooter Many thanks for your interesting comment Ron in that case you well have to brace yourself for the end of this month I'm going on a trip to a woodland area that still has our native little Red Squirrels and I will post the prettiest image captured plus tag to Louise & Ken @Weezilou in the interest of fair play I had a drive out to day to photograph a Seagull as we have none around here, see today's posting:)

[Peter]

@Weezilou I will of tag both you and Ron in on my next Squirrel posting Louise:)

[Louise & Ken]

@pcoulson Most appreciated...or how about I just follow! I loved the couple photos I just commented on, and in spite of you being a friend of Ron's @stray_shooter, you appear friendly enough : )
