One of the extremely famous 'Formby Squirrels' so maybe I should put a 'C' in the title but I guess that opens a whole new debate..

Anyway, tried to break away from the general feeding frenzy that was going on near to the main paths around the site and found this little one.. I tried to upload it before but felt it had a bit of a red cast over the image and so worked on it a little.. This one from the archives and I am hoping to go there again in January to see how the population is faring after the parapox scare..!

Have a good day folks..

I have always liked this shot, Brett. My only slight nit is with that little patch of orange on the extreme left hand side behind the birch twig. A case not so much of cloning out as reducing it a bit I think.

Hi Brett,

Great colours and pose!

I like this Brett. I think the best part of the image is the pose of the squirrel itself - as if it is enjoying a snack and a bit of peace and quiet. The bit of leaf on the left just need toning down a bit so it is not intrusive.
