The Red Squirrel
|
They come in all shapes and sizes.Some are chubby and in certain positions I think they look more like little bears than squirrels, and others are slender. Some are red like these, and others are light or dark brown,and can be even black in colour. Their striking ear tufts are a prominent distinguishing feature of the Red Squirrel in Winter, but they lose them in Summer. Their bushy tails vary in volume, but are usually 15-20 cm in length.They are daily visiters to the garden and give me endless pleasure.

Uwielbiam wiewiórki, są zabawne. Śliczne zdjęci. Pozdrawiam.
I love squirrels, they are funny. Beautiful pictures. Yours.
Hi Breathtaking!
"A day in the life of a squirrel" would be an apt title to the story you here tell us.
Lucky you to be able to enjoy the company of such a lovely neighbour!
And the photos are just great; congratulations!
Have a nice weekend.
Vitor
And to think I just made a squirrel feeder :)
Que linda. Saludos.
What a beauty! Lovely captures of your little visitor Sonjia. Our native Red Squirrel can only be seen in certain parts of the country due to the introduced American Grey Squirrel which has pushed it to the brink of extinction by transmitting a deadly pox.
I have been entertained by the antics of a Grey Squirrel in my garden lately, they are so agile :-)
cute little guy
Giga
I agree Giga, they are so amusing,
especially when two squirrels are chasing one another, or they are doing gymnastics.
your squirrels are adorable! so different from ours!

Hello Vitor
I am very lucky, and never take for granted the beautiful place where I live and its woodland inhabitants.
Thank you for your lovely comment
and have a nice weekend also.
Fallar
Clever you, to make a Squirrel feeder! Hope you show some photos!
Thank you for your visit:)
Teresa
Thank you! They are such photogenic creatures.
Have a nice weekend.

Thank you Jan! I love to see them in the garden, doing the most amazing gymnastics.
They are very entertaining. On visits to London I have watched Grey Squirrels in Hyde Park and thought them very pretty and surprisingly tame, compared to the timid ones who visit us.
Adam
I agree,he is a cutie:)
Oh--look at those ears--and he found a friend on the birdbath! Thanks for sharing.

Bob Bushell
Thank you Bob!You are so right, you can't beat these photogenic cutie pies for their instant appeal.
Dimi
Hi Dimi:)
Thank you very much, so pleased you think so.
There are actually 3 different squirrels on these photos, but it's hard to tell, except in the last photo because he has no tufts.
Linda
Hi Linda:)
I am familiar with the American grey squirrel, which is as you say quite different from these.It's nice that you also get to see them in your yard.
Stiletto
Thank you Stiletto! So nice of you to say you enjoy my posts. I have recently made a promise to myself that even before New Year, I will try to improve the standard of my posts, by making them more informative as well as decorative.
Lucky you to have them in your garden. I live in the countryside. Too bad, but we don't have squirrels here. So I enjoy your beautiful pictures. Great series, Breathtaking. Have a nice sunday. Greetings, Joke
Joke
Thank you Joke! They are fun to have around.
Enjoy your Sunday also:)
Hola Sonjia. Es una serie de fotos muy hermosa. Las ardillas son muy rápidas en sus movimientos y captarlas no debe ser nada fácil. ¡Te felicito!
Un abrazo y feliz domingo.
Lovely photos, congratulations!!!!!
Many greetings
Very cute little guy. I think they are such beautiful squirrels. Back home they are considered pests but on your blog, they look innocent and cute to me:)
I envy you such visitors, with excellent photos, a nice evening.
Hello Sonia
Thank you Sonia! Yes they are away in a flash, but my husband gave me a new hide for my birthday so I can sit quietly and observe my garden visiters without being detected.
Um Abrazo.
Magda
Hello Magda:)
Thank you so much.I will visit you very soon.:)
Rohrerbot
Thank you!They do look cute, and very nice on photos, but they still wave their tails furiously whenever they see me, even though I have been feeding them Hazelnuts for years. Ungrateful little......
Salma
Thank you Salma! It is nice to see them around the garden.
Thank you for passing by:)
just found your blog beautiful photos
WE have the same species of squirrel here in Hokkaido but it is more brown than red, can't believe how red yours look!
Julie Hargreaves
Thank you Julie:)Nice of you to say so!
Stuart Price
Hello Stuart:)
They are predominately red, but their fur can range from this rusty red colour to almost black in winter.
I would really love to follow your blog if I may :)

:)Grin!!! Red Heads!!!
Very nice to see the various actions of Red Squirrel.
They have obviously taken the warning and gone down to the woods in disguise. ExceptFlopsy,Mopsy,Cotton Tail, Peter and, probably
Tabatha Twitchitt, should have been more careful to avoid the same costume.
Wooow very nice post amazig¡¡
Abhinav
Hello Abhinav!
I love seeing them around the garden, and so pleased you liked to see them also.
Have a nice weekend.

Bom Dimanche.
How nice to have them around. You took some great shots of the little Squirrel, which is not an easy task, as they are very active creatures.
Maia
Yes they are very agile, but as they are daily visiters, I do get plenty of opportunity for photo shoots.
Ohhh.. So cute.. I love.. Congrat and regards..

They are beautiful. I wish I had one in the garden. Squirrels enchant me. kisses
Brown eyes
They do have beautiful lines and enchant me also.I like them so much that I have quite a few inside the house, as ornaments. Some are in wood, and I have a woven basket with a Squirrel
holding nuts.
Kisses
