#SquirrelSaturday #photography

Seen in our garden on different occasions.

A red squirrel in a cherry tree is holding on to a branch with its front paws and pushing its nose up into the air. White chest and tummy.

A red squirrel on the top of a wooden fence with long furry ears standing up, looks down upon another one on a squirrel feeder eating nuts.

A red squirrel in the rain looks over the top of a wet wooden fence. It is to the right of the image looking half left. Only its head and shoulders and front paws can be seen. Rain falling can be seen.

A red squirrel with long ears runs along the top of a wooden fence. Its front paws are in the air and its wee mouth is open. It is running from right to the left of the image.

Light reflecting off golden autumn leaves

Gold, orange, russet, deep red and pale yellow colours from leaves in a delightful melange.

Golden hour evening sunshine glowing on a mossy stone dyke

Stone wall covered in moss extending from the left of the image into the distance and the right of the image. Strong visual distance perspective. The wall is in a pine woodland. We see distant trunks of slender trees. The moss on the stones is extensive but bare stone can be seen. The light is golden with strong shadows between the stones.

Great tit on a dryer

A great tit sits on the end of a garden rotary clothes dryer, facing to our left. The background is blurred. It has something unidentified in its mouth. We see its shiny black eye clearly.

Blackbird eating a cherry

A blackbird stands on some gravel (beneath a cherry tree out of sight). It has a half eaten cherry in its beak. It is facing to our right.

Nuthatch looking pleased with itself, with its sunflower heart in its mouth 😂

A nuthatch is standing on a wooden fence with very robust looking feet/talons. It is facing away from us but has its head turned back looking in our direction over its right shoulder. We see its black right eye clearly with a black band across it. It has a grey back and a fluffy pink midriff to the sides and below. The impression is one of a gleeful thief!

Coal tit in the moment before lift off, with a beakful

A coal tit, facing to our right, has a sunflower heart in its mouth. It is standing on a wooden fence and is about to fly. It has bent forward, head down, in preparation and its wings are extended which in this moment look a bit like a cross between a parasol and a cape. Blurred apple tree in the background.

Long tailed tit with a beak full, sitting on an acer branch

A long tailed tit is on a red acer branch bereft of leaves. It is facing towards our right. It has something in its beak, not sure what. We see the top of a wooden fence beyond, blurred. Pleasingly the branches of the acer all rise from the bottom left and ascend in the same direction towards the right which follows the orientation of the tit.
