Spot the squirrel
Plenty of tree rats scoffing acorns today. This one looked small and was quite approachable, which made me think it was a youngster.

Not that I've tried photographing reds, I do know people who have.
I think greys are bolder than reds and give you a little more time to get a lens on them. Still have to be a bit sharpish though!

Re: Spot the squirrel
The greys round here are almost tame in some places.
Loads of woodland walks so they're probably quite used to people??

They are pretty tame in Royal Victoria park in Bath! Rubbish picture though!

Re: Spot the squirrel
I was laying a patio for a customer in the middle of a housing estate a few years ago and a grey would run the full length of the terrace on the wall, I mean the vertical wall between the ground floor and upstairs.
