[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We found this squirrel in Kuskovo park last autumn. I noticed that russian squirrels differ from american species. Russian subspecies of Sciurus vulgarus have white or light smoke coat. They are more fluffy and have very special ear tufts.

Hello Katia,
An excellent squirrel... Russian style!
You capture him in a good pose here, probably eating something delicious...
Looks like well groomed and with very nice fur coat, good colours and fine details all over!
Greetings,

Hello Katia,
Yes, our squirrel looks much different from yours and I must say that I think your’s are nicer and funnier. I like their beautiful ears! They always seem to just pop out from a surprise box. This is a nice capture with good POV and moment caught. I guess that with a faster shutter speed, details would have been a little sharper but it is still a very nice capture. I like this light in his eye :) Thanks,
Claudine

Bellissima foto. Bella nitidezza. Hai avuto molta pazienza ma alla fine ti è riuscita una buona foto.

Hi, Katia!

Sweet and cute one! We have the same squirrels here in Latvia, but their population has decreased and one cannot see them as often as before...

TFS,
/Sandra
