    Hi Paul some great photos there mate

    I managed to get up close to a red Squirrel feeding today, I used a unique stalking technique to get up close and take a photo whilst he was munching on my christmas nuts

    Here's some pics of red squirrel sign here.
    .
    This is a trail they make running from tree to tree through the caribou moss


    A midden with a small pile of unopened jack pine cones at the base of the fallen spruce


    Another one showing that this fellow likes mostly spruce cones


    Signs of munching on cones and a den at the base of a tree


    A tunnel entrance in a peat bog


    And speak of the devil....

    Toxic for us to eat, but squirrels will get amongst the horse chestnuts.
