Red Squirrel

[chrisiow]

These were taken at the end of May in Parkhurst forest on the Isle of Wight once again on my lunch break from work, it was overcast and the ground was very wet which is why he looks a bit straggly, he had his head down and was feeding for all he was worth.

Nice set. I had one this morning at the cabin I am building. NO camera!

Sweet little things aren't they? Looks like someone's got some wax and twizzled the hair on his ears to make it stand up

nice shots, I was out near Dunsbury Farm last year trying to get some shots of them but no luck. I'm an Isle of Wightian too, might have to try up Parkhurst next time.
