I found the first bird pic and the "squirrel-staring-at-the-human" pic interesting. The bird pic because of the number of them (3) and the squirrel pic because of the two points of interest creating a second "ahh..." moment....that makes it much more interesting than a single moment pic in my opinion.

Like 'em all. My favorite was #4 since you caught the nut shell fragments in mid air. It shows how he was busily munching away while you were photographing him. (like how dare you bother me over dinner!)

I like the RED squirrel shots!

The UK unfortunately has many more grey squirrels (tree rats) than red ones (there are also a few black ones around the country). Here in Jersey (C.I., U.K.) we only have the much nicer red squirrels and 4 or 5 regularly visit my garden to feed. I love watching and photographing them too!  :)

I liked the squirrel pictures too, but I found the first bird picture to be fascinating.  I like the odd number of birds, but the bokeh comes across as a shadow and I like that.  It takes a few minutes to realize it is not shadow. It really holds my attention.

Nice photos!

LOVE them all, but the 1swt 2 especially! I don't think I've every seen a red squirrel where I live. :  (  Love the 2nd one of him, cute little fatty!

I love taking pics of squirrels. Don't get much other animals other then woodpeckers, bluebird, cardinal and some others here, and those blasted crows (dirty birds!) as I live in the city. But if I go to some of the wooded parks we have, sometimes I can get deer and a few others.


Nice work!

I once prayed to God for a camera, but quickly found out he didn't work that way.... so I stole a camera and prayed for his forgiveness.

Never stop photographing. It is very likely that your best photograph has not yet been captured

Hmm...
I know some people go to crazy lengths for weird photos but decapitation is one step too far for me!   :P
