Keep your hands off my nuts

We walked the dogs in Cefn Onn Park and the Azaleas and some  Rhododendrons are in glorious bloom with a ground blanket of daffodils, snowdrops and crocuses testament to the mild and wet weather. 
This cheeky squirrel was daring me to come closer and I got quite near before his nerve broke and he scampered up a tree. I think he looks quite good in monochrome but I’ve included a coloured version in the extras to show his red-brown splashes in his face and tail.
