We had a nice trip to the beach yesterday and took a large tub of monkey nuts with us as there are several squirrels that live there and are really friendly as they are looked after by the locals ..First we have some videos and then some pictures taken by Mr WH

And a million pictures

Oh my word! Wonderful videos and photographs

I've never seen a red squirrel in person, just grey ones (they run across the busy main road here

)

Are they really huge or are those fence posts small???

Beautiful Pictures.

Aren't there feet big! unless its because I am used to my dwarf's feet

. There is a few squirrel's where I live don't see them often more in winter & when the walnut tree's nuts are ready, then it is a fight between me & the squirrel's as to who is going to get the ones dropped on the floor!

It is really nice to see some Red squirrels around as the Grey invaders have been taking over. Although, to me, that squirrel looks a bit of both as Reds usually have really tufty ears and very red, bushy tails. Could be a Grey in disguise

They are gorgeous animals though

These squirrels were rather large and the fence small so a bit of both really..

They come right up to you and you can hand feed some of them..Apparently its a popular spot in the mornings as people bring them breakfast

I love the second to last photograph - looks like he/she is grinning at you

It was nice to see them bury some of the monkey nuts, they did a cute patting down of the area they buried them and one squirrel used leaves to cover his..

(Off topic but the more I read the word 'squrriel', the weirder it sounds

!)

They look like a hybrid between grays and reds to me, but I don't know if that is possible. They look just like the grays over here, but with some red and pointer ears.

That's exactly what I thought but I don't know if it is possible either...
