Red Squirrels in Scotland

Meg and I had a lovely time visiting Lynne last week. On our last day we visited Eskrigg Nature reserve, a red squirrel hot spot...
 We had a chuckle at this one...
 who finally emerged from the peanut store.
 Some were a little more refined in their dining habits!
 Some liked to make the other squirrels jump with Jack-in-a-box type moves!
 Some tried to blend in with the trees, keeping a close eye on us humans...
 I think this is my favourite shot of all the ones I took (96!) 
 And finally, this little fellow was eager to pick up the food that others had dropped on the floor. 
 It was so lovely to spend a very quiet couple of hours in the company of these delightful creatures (Meg and Lynne included!)
Thanks for looking!

    Thanks for sharing some of your pictures of the red squirrel - such a shame that there are so few of them around nowadays.

    Wow Sally - what absolutely gorgeous photos! I adore red squirrels, they used to live in a woodland plot near to where I lived in Northumberland and were always a delight to see. I suspect that the woodland will finally have been built on - sigh :(

    Oh! I LOVE your photos, you take them beautifully. I think 96 taken isn't bad, with the antics that these squirrels get up to LOL.
