There were several grey squirrels in
Edinburgh Botanic Gardens today. The one above was quiet and shy but posed very nicely. Its friend below wasn't at all shy and came over and begged for food
which Crafty Green Boyfriend then provided.
Not content with that, the squirrel then followed us around for a while.....
We also watched another squirrel for a while, as it ripped bark off a branch, collected it all in its mouth then disappeared off up the tree, no doubt to line its drey with the bark!
There weren't many birds around in the Botanics today, but this juvenile black headed gull was happy to pose for the camera.
so naughty and cute!

ReplyDeleteAww sweet!xx
ReplyDeleteYour squirrel looks just like our Eastern Gray Squirrels. I've had one who will come up to my patio door and stand in the adorable begging pose. This really excites the cats who scare the little thing off.
ReplyDeleteMs Sparrow, our grey squirrels were introduced from the US so are probably the same species as your Eastern Grays. Our only native squirrel is outcompeted by the greys and so has disappeared from most of the country, including Edinburgh
ReplyDelete... and the New England bird feeders, naturally seen as nature's gift; the Purple Finch fly-byes.
