This pesky grey squirrel costs me a fortune in "lost" birdfood but I can't help but admire its tenacity. When not being chased off it is quite happy to pose for the odd photo so I guess it deserves the odd exposure .................

At least you are getting something for all that expenditure then. I would prefer to see the squirrel a little less central in the frame, but otherwise a super shot.
By the way, we invested in squirrel-proof feeders. The only difference it has made is that the sparrows eat us out of house and home instead of the squirrel.
I think the real difference between David and I is that David is even more grey than the squirrel...! As for the good looking bit, well I guess his opticians appointment is long overdue, poor OLD fella!
Sorry, I digress -
Nit covered but always nice to capture these critters as you never know when someone might want an image of something others might just look over..!

Maybe take out the white spots below the branch.

Have to agree with David's comments though. Other than that a very nice setting and detail Cliff.

Hi Cliff,
Nice shot! Not the most inspiring of subjects I know, but they still need photographing.
Cheers,
