Grey Squirrel

Taken in my back garden through the double glazing. It's actually sitting on a fence stealing the dried meal worms we put out for the birds.

There is another image in the PiP. Thanks for looking!

Keith Burton replied to Günter Klaus:

Yes, it's sitting less than a metre away........we have several that visit our garden and we are very used to each other.......as long as we allow them to steal the bird food :-)))

Glad you like this image my friend and as always, thanks for your kind and generous comments.

Have a lovely evening and a nice day tomorrow. Best wishes, Keith :-)

Ps: The window that overlooks the feeder gets cleaned very often......it's the only one that does :-)))

Il n'a pas l'air farouche. Chez moi une telle photo serait impossible car dès que mon chien voit un écureuil, il lui fonce dessus en aboyant. Ce qui a pour effet de faire grimper l'écureuil dans le premier arbre venu. Je le laisse faire car l'écureuil est toujours plus rapide. Et mon chien ne monte pas aux arbres.

Keith Burton replied to Jean-luc Drouin:

We have several squirrels that visit our garden to steal the bird food. We are used to each other, and providing I always photograph them through the window and don't leave the house the are very comfortable.

We don't have a dog anymore, but when we did he also used to chase the squirrels (also unsuccessfully). I'm sure they found it a great game and enjoyed teasing him!

A good spot for you to catch it very close Keith. I imagine with a bit of patience you could have it feeding from your hand if you wanted. Well done.

Best Wishes. Herb

ps, Our squirrels have all but deserted us now since we took down our bird feeder for the summer.

Such naughty little squirrels maybe you should have a sign telling them it is for the birds only :-)
Two wonderful shots Keith they must be nice to see, we occasionally have a red take a short cut through the garden but they don't hang about :-(

Amazing capture through the window, Keith!
The squirrel is undisturbed and you took two lovely and very sharp portraits of him!

It's so cute you can't be angry with it for stealing the birds' food;-) Two fantastic photos with fabulous detail, the window pane is not discernible at all!
