Red Squirrel

Went into Formby Woods to photograph Red Squirrels, saw lots photograph some, unfortunately they are small and run about very quickly. it was also dark so had to up the ISO. creating noise on all the images.

Great find peter. I thought they were rapidly disappearing, being kicked out by the greys.

[Peggy Scroggins]

So cute sporting his winter coat and ears perked up. FAV

@sarahlh Thank you so much Sarah, they are beautiful little things;)

[Peter]

@miata2u Thank you very much for your comments and Fav. Peggy, they are wild and freely run in the woodland;)

@terryliv Thanks so much for your comments Terry, the larger American grey squirrels are slowly taking over working their way up England, thankfully they have not reached this far north yet;)

[Emilie Cartoun]

What a funny little guy! Fav for the adorable ears.

[Peter Grave]

Nice capture Peter.I gather from your comments that the American squirrel is not popular.

[Babs]

I still think this is a good shot even though there is a bit of noise on it. Our trivia night team name is the squirrels and we each have a squirrel badge. Red squirrel of course.

@teiko They are lovely little things, thanks for your comments and Fav. Emilie;)

@peterlgrave Thanks Peter, yes American ones not as popular as the British Red Squirrel, both are still nice to see and photograph;)

[Peter]

@onewing Thanks babs, it was very dark in the woods but did not want to miss the opportunity to take the shot, interesting story, our team name was "Hells Bells" named after one of my company directors, he was a complete B.......D to all my engineers;)

Love this capture, Peter!

[Peter]

@susanalena Thank you Susan, I went out specifically to photograph Red Squirrels and for a change I manage to do just that;)

[Brianna]

This came out amazing, you are so lucky to have these guys in the wild where you live!

[Peter]

@lilminimonka Thank you Brianna, they are lovely little things but move at the speed of light, lol;)

@simta Спасибо Татьяна, эти маленькие красные белки зимуют в зимний период и сохранить тот же цвета пальто круглый год, они очень любили в Великобритании;)
