It was a rather grey, chilly day, and this red squirrel looked like he wished he had his winter coat with him. I know I did.

Over here, on the Isle of Wight, there are no grey squirrels; which is a relief for our native reds as greys can carry squirrel pox, a disease which shows no symptoms in greys yet is fatal for reds. The population of reds here fluctuate, but there is enough woodland for 3,500 squirrels. This is the first I've seen this year, and it made my day.
