My next door neighbour just took this great pic through his kitchen window (not technically great - but what a pose!).

Anyway he wanted me to work on losing the reflection. It was quite hard - (I'm not top drawer at PS) - but thought I'd share the pic with you guys. Needless to say, I'm off to buy some nuts to coax the smiling squirrel to my window!

He's a trainee for that annoying DFS advert (goldfish, dog, scary gingerbread man) isn't he??

Almost great! Not technically 100% but a keeper for the great pose and expression.

However, not much use for the 'Spot the Squirrel' competition

I'd have it framed and put it in the kitchen window facing outwards

are red squirrels making a comeback? this is the second pic i've seen in two days and i thought they were practically extinct in the UK. IMHO they are much nicer than the grey ones too

Like the Red Squirrels, I think you'll find that Steve has retreated to part of the UK which still has 'em. Nobody gave the grey ones maps, so they haven't "conkered" (sic, groan) everywhere yet......

Reds:

Yea... there are loads round here (north Lake District), but I think it's one of the few areas they still thrive. If you see a grey anywhere in this part of the world there is a telephone number to ring, and a bloke comes out with a gun to sort him out. A bit of a bummer for the grey, but hey... life's a bitch and the greys are everywhere. Maybe we could organise it that if someone saw a Ford Fiesta a bloke would come out with a bazooka? (Carter ducks for cover)

In the Highlands we have the Pine Marten - which last time I read was Britain's rarest mammal - rare that is unless they come and eat cheese and jam outside your window every evening . Took these from the house up there:

Steve,
A great idea with the bazooka, but instead of Fiestaman I think it should be all German cars
