Red squirrels

Unfortunately it looks like the American Gray... Not because the original Eurasians are less playful...Fierce creature that one - our Eurasian red squirrels appear to be playful rather than aggressive(as @bhf3737 shows
- although that may be an american example...)

And yeah that guys could be pretty fierce!

I was expecting forgotten dormouse - because of the structure of the body... I have to refresh my knowledge (or not? - we have nothing like these on the islands 
)!
Not, it wasn't that: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_chipmunk! I have not seen this in real.

Thanks, Click.
When I saw it in the tree I thought: "That red and the green moss on that old oak together... please stay...don't move... FREEEZE!"
And yes, it was really nice. And when it heard my DSLR rattle it looked at me like: "Dude? Got your keeper? Okaaaay! I'll move on now." (That was this shot)
And slowly disappeared... I've never seen such a cool
squirrel before

Ever seen a squirrel taking a nap? On a snag?
Neither did I. Until yesterday.
I woke this one up with the sound of my DSLR.
And then two others expelled it while they were chasing up and down that oak.
Those two were so fast that I could get only that one good shot.

Just the very next day I saw another (the same?) squirrel taking a nap.
And again I woke that one up with the sound of my DSLR.

I got as close as never before to a squirrel. Must have been less than 5 meters.
5D4+100-400LII+1,4TC. Original crop was at 5400x3600. The last one is a 1:1 portrait from the second pic.

We love them over here -our native squirrel that has been displaced by the Grey.

Yeah! It's sad when a species gets displaced or eliminated by an invasive one - brought there by humans.

Well, as soon I discovered the topic I forget it (since there are no squirrels here
).Sorry for the very late answer - it is the Small Indian Mongoose. Very invasive and doing a lot of harm to the ground nesting birds (and not only!).

They do! And most importantly they are The Native to Europe: look at the ears (not that much the colors -they are kind of variable) - very easy to separate the invasive American and the native European. Kit posted it before and later Maximilian.Hi Folks.

Fortunately he couldn't climb up trees, so, he never caught one. They are just too cute!
