Cemetery squirrel
Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 28 January 2012 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
Harton Cemetery in South Shields seems to have become a home for a number of grey squirrels, you can find lots of smoothed round holes in the trunks of many trees there. You find them early in the mornings foraging for food, and they are becoming less timid these days.
Even though I may not be able to visit or respond daily, I always welcome your comments or critiques.

Very smart - if self-centered - little beasts. They are so quick to assess situations - particularly if it involves food !

Are they particularly grim squirrels? Or are you sure they are actually alive?

Superb capture. As soon as I saw this shot I thought it would upset Chris and Nigel, they seem to have become a little paranoid about them!!

More aggressive i would say, this one looks like a real fighter.

you've done well - I always have problems shooting squirrels as they are too skittish to stay in one space for long. We have a resident pair in our garden and as they like to dig up our bulbs I would like to do some shooting but not with a camera

Wow fantastic... They are not easy to catch, even with a camera :) Great work Curly, have a lovely weekend :)

Scrolled back through some great street shots from Durham, Scarborough and Newcastle Curly. Particularly liked the Durham B/W's and that staircase in the narrow alley.
This tree rat is perfectly poised :)

Great shot! I have a love / hate relationship with squirrels. They are cute little critters and fun to watch but can be such a pest too.
