Seeing Red.

A trip on a rather nice morning up to the Durham border in the hope of finding red squirrels which we had been told were relatively tame and didn't mind the odd camera or two.Following the directions given we arrived at the place marked on the map to find two people laying down and cameras pointed at a moss covered log. I have put food on the log said one of them wait a while and they will come ( so we waited ) and they didn't come,I could see three reds playing about on some fallen trees in an area which was far too dark for the odd shot .We will give it an hour says I as the wind was picking up and bringing the cold with it ,then came a shout there's one behind you!!.
"Where have I heard that before"





It made good use of the tree stumps as vantage points and didn't stay very long before scampering off to play with his mates but we managed a few shots before the wind and cold got the better of us and back to the car, I think we will be making a return visit.

Thanks for looking 

Happy New Year.
