Not a great weekend for pictures with the gray and gloomy sky, but during the few sunny periods, I managed to sneak up on this little fellow and he seemed like he was posing for me. These guys do not sit still very long, but I did manage to get several great shots.
C/C most welcome and thanks for looking

They may not sit for long, but you got the poses....that is a feat in and of itself. Good shooting, Steve.

Thanks Rich. I had squirrels and redpolls there at the same time so I moved at a snail's pace. My old camera does not auto focus like it use to, so I had to focus on the railing before shooting the squirrel.
Thanks for the nice comments

Cute photos. What type of squirrels are they? They have tufts on their ears....never seen that kind before, and their nose seems a bit different too.

Thank Jean and AuntieM. Not sure what kind they are. I may have to do some research to find out exactly. This type is all we have here.

I love squirrels - we have 2 main trypes in scotland - the ubiquitous greys (technically vermin and carriers of disease to red squirrels) red squirrels - only in certtain areas in Scotland - but smaller and nicer ! and locally qwe have a strain of albino ones - good to photograph. I've not seen them for a couple of years now !
3 more pics to follow - I would be happy taking photos all day !

Last three photos. I have seen black squirrels in Canada and USA - but as far as I know there are none here.
As a veterinarian (retired)I occasionally had to treat an injured squirrel and oh boy - can they bite !

This is a Black Squirrel (Photo taken and sent to me by a friend) - taken in the south of England and I have been told that they are taking off there. I would love to see a Black or White one.

Thanks for the great comments all. Pat, Georgie: many thanks for adding the additional pictures to this thread. Makes it a lot more fun.
From what I can see, the ones I photographed are red squirrels. What ever, they are fun to watch and take pictures of.
