Mr Black

We call him Mr Black because of the overall dark colour along his back and tail.  He seems to have ousted White Tail as the squirrel using the garden most.

It was a crisp clear morning, Clickychick looked out and there he was getting peanuts out of the feeder.  The cameras were lying ready so we both started taking shots.  All I was getting were pure black squares.  WHY!!!  I had left the camera set 5 stops under exposed after last nights candle shots.

While I was grumbling CC decided she was going into the garden for shots.  Mr Black wasn't keen on that idea and dashed up a tree.  He spent a while up there "swearing" at her and stamping his foot.  Then down he came and back to the nuts,while CC was on a chair 6 m away.

I managed this shot through the window while he was in the tree.
