Hello Bev

I did not even know that there were squirrels in Europe until I saw some in Warsaw and Stockholm. Previously I thought they were a North American animal. Same with bison. Europe also has bison. And woodpeckers! A good use of selective focus here with perfect sharpness on the rodent. Tfs!

Hello Beverley, an excellent close up of the grey squirrel, so sharp that we can see each individual whisker, and its' claws.
I have to ask... how low were you to achieve this point of view? In the workshop shot, we can see how well the animal is camouflaged.
Thanks for sharing, kind regards, Jean.

Good morning Bev, and thank you for this environmental reminder ! The second decade of the millenium will definitely have to be ecological, or else God knows what will happen to our planet !
You chose two great pictures of grey squirrels.
However, they are also victims of irresponsible humans who brought them to Europe from America, and thus they unvoluntarily decimated the population of red squirrels :-(
Thanks for sharing and let's be optimistic all the same !
Kindest regards, and a Happy New year !
Marie-Louise.

Hi Bev,
it is a controversial photo :)
I remember signs in Lake District that they are trying to help the red squirrels which are native to England. It seems the grey ones are actually formally pests which flourish here by being stronger than the red ones. As an immigrant I have nothing against the grey American squirrels but by helping them we are not helping the native squirrels which are nearly extinct.
I am glad Brexit campaigners didn't use this as an illustration to what may happen...
Having said it -in my local park there are just grey ones left so we do feed them with nuts every time we go to the park.
Today I stay with my daughter at home, the school is closed yet, so there is a chance we may go to the park to feed them.
A friend of mine from Tennessee told me that they had so many squirrels on the university campus that they hired someone with a gun to walk around and decrease the number to a more healthy level...

Happy New Year again!
M

Hello Bev,
Happy New Year! This squirrel is a cutie, and he seems interested in your camera. We must definitely care for the animals and have respect for their habitats. It's sad that some people don't... Getting back to your photo, I especially like this squirrel's cute, little hands. :-)
