Red Squirrel
Red Squirrels are becoming ever scarcer in Britain, partly due to the introduced Grey Squirrel and partly due to other factors. Here on the Isle of Wight we are lucky in that we still have a decent Red population and no Greys. We get one or two visiting the garden although they can be hard to photograph, due to their speed and arboreal habitat. Today I was fortunate in that one hung around long enough for me to get my camera out, change to the 400mm lens and take a few shots.

What a marvelous creature to have in your garden. I didnlt know they were on the IOW.
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely shots and how fantastic to have reds visiting the garden. Enchanting shots.
ReplyDeleteHi Dude,
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! The red squirrel is a small squirrel with reddish to reddish-gray fur on top and a white or cream underside. It has white around its eyes. Its tail is not as long or bushy as the tail of other tree squirrels. In the summer, the red squirrel may have a black stripe on its sides. Thanks......
