This little fellow has recently taken to visiting my neighbour's garden. I still haven't worked out how he gets on to the washing line! Not the sharpest photo in the world - some camera shake has definitely crept in, as the light was too poor to get a decent shutter speed.
Wonderful shot! Good composition and DOF. Love the way the green in the background makes the squirrel, the feeder and those...uh...balls stand out so well. The fur looks soft and fluffy.
They are smart and will always outwit whatever you try. I gave up trying to outwit them a long time ago! :)
It's amazing what these guys can do! I had one bird feeder in a sort of cage which made it hard for them to get the food out with their paws. They soon figured out that if they pushed it diagonally the food would start to pour out of the openings the birds use to eat! When I finally caught one doing it I understood why the seed was disappearing so fast from that feeder ;-)
