Not a good shot (so I've kept it small), but I just can't get over how chunky this chap is (MUST be a chap - he's huge). What I can't explain to you is how far away this was, up a very, very tall tree. If it weren't for the fact that I can see it's a squirrel on close-up I really wouldn't have thought it were one - it looked too big to be a normal cat, even.
Honestly, it must be GINORMOUS!!! (Rolf, it must have been in your garden eating up all your birdfood :) )
Yep, sure is a chunky chappie.:)
I think you may find it is a female in Kitten .We have masses of squirrels her in the Plantation walk and the females are very big like that when pregnant.
Having said that I could be wrong .
I think it's a great shot :thumbsup:
I agree with Beryl!
I'm sure it's a pregnant female, imminently ready to produce offspring to munch up more of Rolf's bird food!:D
Nice pic, Louise!:)
Oh my goodness, I've insulted a lady by calling her a chunky chappie. :eek: :-rolling
I see what you mean about being pregnant - but it is also very long - generally big (not just chunky).
Well I don't know for sure . Here is on andyou can see she is inKitten or has just had them and she was huge ways

Clearing out my photos I came across the set I took for this shot. It turns out that there were 2 of them!! I assume that it was male and female hanging around their drey.
It was very, very high up and I had only spotted the movement and snapped where I thought the movement was (I didn't even know that it was a squirrel, although assumed so... that's why the quality is so bad :)
Not Necessarily. They are extremely territorial and will fight like any thing and chase each other to exhaustion if one infringes another territory
But you could be right . Great shots how ever :thumbsup:
On Plantation Walk here they have to cull them every so often as it gets over run These Squirrels take nuts from you fingers they are so tame
see mr and mrs chan at lavell lake, look skinny worringly skinny but saying that if there didnt jump around so much im sure they wouldnt look that way!!
oh how many little uns do you recon she has?? enough for a footie team?:-rolling
Well, the squirrels I normally see aren't half as solid as this, so may be enough for a whole match ;)
