Small and Curious Red Squirrel

Small and Curious Red Squirrel

So there I was, sitting at my desk pretending to do serous things, when there's a scrabbling noise from the window behind me. Turned round, and this is what I saw.

One of this year's young Red Squirrels, hanging onto the plant life with one paw and scratching at the window with the other. Maybe curious about the two toy seals in the foreground?

l luffs a red squirrel. I took the kid to Loch Lomond a few times to see squirrels but they always gave us the slip. Then I took him to Benmore Estate near Dunoon where there is a squirrel feeding area with a hide, and thus the kid saw a red squirrel. He was over the moon. :D
