Phonesquirrel

[bunn]

The squirrels of Tavistock are bold and brave, so bold indeed that they can be photographed reasonably adequately even with a phone.
I have tagged this wildlife, although I'm fairly sure that Rosie Roo would be very clear that it should be tagged 'prey'.    This park is an exciting place for lurchers.

What a perfectly autumnal photo.

Squirrels are a cheeky lot. I had one sit on my shoe once. Admittedly, I was handing out walnuts at the time but I was a expecting a bit more decorum. As I recall, he or she took hold of the bottom of my trouser leg and looked up into my face most imploringly.

Very disappointed not to see a squirrel photographed with a phone. I'm not wise in the ways of grey squirrels, but people tell me that they're more adaptable than our reds, so I was hoping to see one caught in the act of embracing modern technology. (A "Where on earth did I hide those acorns?" app, perhaps?

Ha! It almost wouldn't surprise me.

I *very nearly* photoshopped a tiny phone into this photo before posting it, because I KNEW you would say that :-DDDD

A very bold squirrel.

But the way he is oh-so-casually lurking, almost within reach on a branch above a river, makes me think it is a trap, and that Jack Russells regularly end up in the water...
