Beautiful Red Squirrel, apart from Brownsea Island I've never seen them wild down south.

As the weather's been a bit grey lately and I've not been out that much I thought I'd have a look at some photos I hadn't got round to processing.

I like the second shot John.
How close did you get to take those?
Kestrels seem to always perch too high to get a decent shot.

Quite close really but I had to follow him around a bit, they're always resident in the woods near me so I have an idea where they hang out.
