Caught on Camera!
Whilst wistfully daydreaming out of the kitchen window, as I am prone to do from time to time, I noticed the red spectre of our favourite little rodent. I am of course, talking about our neighbourhood red squirrel. It seemed to be an adult, not as large as some I've seen, but much darker than the very brassy-red youngsters. My guess, from 30 paces, is that this is an adult female. I could be wrong, though!

[I'm obviously not as important as the peanuts...]
[A charming tail-shot as it runs for the hills... and my camera lens]
After a few minutes of posing gracefully for the camera, she had enough, and dashed through the trees with such simple efficiency. I could see her gaily bounding into the pine trees immediately behind, one final bound and she was gone.

Gosh how cute! That's something we don't see here.
I just love seeing your photos of the wildlife around your place - we don't have squirrels in Australia, so it's lovely to see the pictures :)
