Red Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris)

I know it is only ten days or so since I blipped a squirrel, but frankly I can't resist them.  A little before mid morning Clickychick looked out of the window and gave the signal that there was a squirrel there.  I make a habit of "exposing a few electrons" as early as possible, so I grabbed the camera.

Normally the views we get are either it on the feeder or the bird table.  Today it was romping about the frost covered grass.  Frequently burying its nose into the vegetation.  If it was looking for nuts it had buried it needn't have bothered as just a few yards away the feeder contained more than enough and a good variety of things.  There is no accounting for taste!
