Thank you! We have this very bright red one and a darker, more brown one in our garden. It was the first time, i was able to get one of them close enough, thanks to my new objective. :)
Finally a red squirrel like the ones I saw in Croatia! Thanks for the spotting because it gives me the proper information. I also like your pictures!
