Grey squirrels, like this one, while quick and easily spooked are fairly easy to get close-ups of in the city, if you have a packet of nuts of course.

Red squirrels are the opposite, extremely shy and only glimpsed in rural woodland. I've only seen one twice in all of the years Alan and I have gone walking through the countryside, although we are hardly quiet so maybe that's not surprising.

Still hopefully now that I have more skills and better equipment, it's something I should attempt. We'll see what the spring and summer brings.
