Had nearly a week in Scotland now and was beginning to think my wish of seeing Red Squirrels wasn't going to become true.Am staying near some woods where they do get the Squirrels paying a visit sometimes.Then today being rainy and dull I decided to stay put and just keep looking and then my wish came true and this gorgeous creature paid us a visit,weather was the pitts,first horrible day though so can t grumble.

Canon 1DMKV,Canon 300f2.8,ISO 400,f2.8,1/640
