Red Squirrel, Escot, Devon

[Chris Wilson]

I had a fine day at Escot, Devon today.

Great to meet Gramps & RKC.

The squirrels were on form, this is a female moving one of her kits to a new drey.
They do this to try and prevent predators from locating the youngsters.
Needless to say the action was mainly in deep shade but shooting in RAW and a careful Lightroom session has saved the day (yet again).

Good to see them on something bigger than the rear screen! Look forward to seeing a print or 3.

Very good to meet Gramps and RKC there, glad all had a good time and thought it was worth the trip.
