Micro Squirrel

Its a baby American Grey, ( well, 2 actually ) the first babies i've ever seen. I find it hard to believe its taken me so long to stumble upon one. and they were stood on a path round a lake that i was walking round to get some bird action. I stopped, fiddled with my camera gear, made a noise, adjusted the monopod, sneezed, rustled about with lens caps, blah blah... and these 2 tiny little ones just kept on munching some fishermans bait, who was there feeding 'em. One of them was sat on his bait box at one point while he and me were chatting. Great stuff

Now that is just cute

And utterly fearless of humans it seems. They'll soon change that behaviour once they know better
