Hannah's friend Rudolph (Red Squirrel) on a nut raid
They're really just snaps taken with an old camera (through glass) from the kitchen table.
Anyway - here's Rudolph the red squirrel raiding the bird feeders today.
We tooks some a few months ago of both the squireels but they're still on Karen's 'dead' mobile phone.
Hope you like him/her ? - there's actually a pair of squirrels but just one showed up today. The window can be full of all types of tits and finches (perhaps a dozen at a time) and the chicken wire behind all the feeders is to keep the mr sparrowhawk out as he often comes in and takes the wee birds.

Phil how lucky to have a pair of Red squirrels in your garden! I can't remember the last time I saw a Red Squirrel
Cheeky little thing, they are great pics, second one is brilliant.
Azz you do make me laugh,I think you are convinced everything bites

Great Photos
I have four grey squirrels living in a tree in our garden
They enjoy the food left out, but never seem to be keen to pose like yours.
I just have multiple shots of grey squirrel bottoms

They don't pose as such but they're pretty good at staying around providing your still and on the other side of the window.

Red ones how great, you are a lucky chap. The first shot looks very like a "out or frame" type edit
