In my book these Red Squirrels are far prettier and great characters compare to the Grey, but the best time to get them is far later on in the year where their real 'characteristics' come out, the ear tuffs. Shot deep in a lovely forest I know way up in the Highlands, but not ideal for light though. Just got him with the tree behind, nicer IMHO than the green backdrop.
Thanks for either viewing or commenting on the previous image.
