"Stranger"

I named this stranger because this Red Squirrel is quite different from the ones I usually encounter. No1 no tufts to the ears. No2 a much sleaker coat and a longer body. No3 Quite a dark tail, similar to a Grey. It now crosses my mind, is it possible this could be some kind of mix of the two, probably not, but you never know, perhaps we had a female Grey with no male at the breeding season... This tree by the way is a Noble Fir its over 140feet tall and 15feet girth, in fact there are no branches for the first 70feet so he`s got a long climb to reach the cones.....
