A red squirrel at last

Several members of our party spotted red squirrels at various points in the week, but they're elusive little beauties and I really didn't think I would ever manage to see one and get the camera out in time.

This one was skittering about in the trees beside the track down to Blair Atholl - Sue stopped the car and we tried a few snaps while the squirrel played hide and seek with us. This is the best of a poor bunch!

(There's a fabulous close up of one here that clickychick got back in the spring!)
