Red Squirrels at Formby Point

[Ryewolf]

To be honest I should have known it would be busy there on Easter Sunday, seemed like every man and his dog were there, so the squirrels were being a bit elusive for the first hour. I could do with 4 pairs of hands when I go here, two to shake the nuts, which they running up for, and two to hold the camera and lens...

Surprised at no comments for these so far.  A very nice set.  One thing is for sure.  Squirrels don't suffer from a peanut allergy.

Thanks John, I could watch these little guys all day.

I think sometimes Rye suffers from his images not being on the top banner John and  will  not get listed in notifications until someone has made a comment ... ..It's a smashing set and I hope once my knee recovers that I can make it up to Formby Point  to get some photos that are as good as these ...

The third one really has a great punch of light and colour.

Thanks Vanguard, one of the problems of Formby Point is that it's quite dark under the conifers and there are only a few spots were the light shines through, so sometimes it's a bit of luck were you caught the squirrels.
