Squirrelling Away

Yes yes yes, I know people think greys are 'evil', but hey, they're still cute...

This was a remarkably tame squirrel in Edinburgh city centre. Reds might be cuter, but let's face it, the greys are still sweet, and the only way they are regarded as 'evil' is if they are anthropomorphised and we give them the human trait to make it appear they are persecuting the reds in a deliberate Nazi manner.

Okay. I prefer reds, and would much rather see them. But I don't mind seeing this lot in the city centre.

This guy I've seen before. The other squirrels can get close, but they won't grab your hand as soon as they know food is on the go.
