I'm sure he's grinning! (Sciurus vulgaris)

Late June now, back from my holiday and supposed to be recuperating from an op. However it didn't go ahead sadly. So consoled myself with a visit to our feeders and the main species of interest was a Red Squirrel!

I'm sure that's a cheeky grin on his face having pinched a peanut from out of the nut feeder. He'd been visiting for a while, but this seems to be the first picture I've shown you of him at this location.
