The red squirrel or Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is a species of tree squirrel (genus Sciurus). The red squirrel is a tree-dwelling omnivorous rodent that is common throughout Eurasia. In Britain, however, numbers have decreased drastically, in part due to the introduction of the eastern gray squirrel from North America and in part through poor management of its woodland habitat.
The red squirrel has a typical head-and-body length of 19 to 23 cm (7.5 to 9 in), a tail length of 15 to 20 cm (5.9 to 7.9 in) and a mass of 250 to 340 g (8.8 to 12 oz). It is not sexually dimorphic, as males and females are the same size. The red squirrel is slightly smaller than the eastern grey squirrel which has a head-and-body length of 25 to 30 cm (0.8 to 1 oz) and weighs between 400 and 800 g (14 oz to 1.8 lb). It is thought that the long tail helps the squirrel to balance and steer when jumping from tree to tree and running along branches and may keep the animal warm during sleep.

Bonjour Robi,
This is a superb sharp capture of a Red squirrel in a classical pose. The lighting and colours are great and the composition against a natural OOF ground BG makes the squirrel stand out.
Merci,

Hello Robi,
WOW, outstanding details and colors in this impressive image of your Red squirrel, ours is much smaller and does not have the huge ear tuffs. You had great lighting here and made great use of it, thanks for sharing.
