We had Saturday out in Lincolnshire taking photographs of the landscape and steam trains heading into Lincoln for the annual “Lindum Fayre” or Christmas Market. The weather was sunny and reasonably mild.
After lunch and photographs of steam trains completed we decided to spend some time at Clumber Park on the way home. This is where we met the real star of the day a grey squirrel who was far too inquisitive for his own good.
This squirrel was only too happy to pose for his portrait taking in close up. He was far too near the video camera to take clear pictures but he remained by our feet for a several minutes picking up what looked like sunflower seeds from the path. Whatever they were we hadn't put them there although I think he/she thought we had.
Me and my camera didn't seem to faze the squirrel at all in its hunt for more seeds. Eventually after posing for hundreds and pictures and several minutes of video the noise from others approaching caused it to head for the safety of some nearby bushes.
All that was left was to get some pictures of the setting sun and head for home.
I’ll post some video of the squirrel once I've had a chance to do some editing.

How cute is that? I wonder if he'd ventured from nearby Centerparcs where most of the squirrels are tame.
