Pallas's Squirrel (Callosciurus erythraeus centralis)

Nice shot Mark, it looks a little sweetie, you'll probably say different
Love the tree :clap::clap:

Thanks, Tilly :t: ! They are real sweeties ! They are quite shy. Squirrels appear like little angels when you have macaques around. One rarely hears of squirrels giving problems here.

Nice capture Mark, had my first Grey one in my garden today lived here 30yrs.

Thanks for info. Large squirril? :t::t: :t:

Aaaah, it's gorgeous Mark, a lovely shot oo:t:

A beautifully detailed shot Mark. Looks good.

Thanks for the comments, folks :t: !

Digi, here we would say medium-sized. It's very similar in size and weight to the Eastern Gray Squirrel and the Eurasian Red Squirrel. The Hairy-footed Flying Squirrel is our other medium-sized squirrel. They are both quite a bit bigger than our smaller Perny's Long-nosed Squirrel and Maritime Striped Squirrel but quite a bit smaller than our Red and White Giant, and Indian Giant Flying Squirrels.

They are normally very shy. BF's Ann Chaplin was with me when I took this shot. This one was quite bold and came down the tree and shared Ann's lunch. It steered clear of me but liked Ann.

Beautiful shot of this mimetic squirrel,Mark!

Thanks, Bernard ! Appreciate it :t: !

Nice one Mark, good capture:t:
