Squirrel!
I know, it's just another grey squirrel right? But I quite fancy the little critters. The first time I went to America I was fascinated by them, they're quite cute although I can certainly understand their pest status. It's quite interesting to me in fact that there's such a common mammal species that's so prevelant and visible in a suburban setting. We have the brush-tail possum, but I never see them that often, and never in such numbers, plus they're nocturnal... We don't really have a diurnal mammal here that's abundant in urban areas. So it was exciting to me :P

yes Azzy to us non European and non American these cute ones are fascinating, i just can't understand why they are considered a pests. love them so much and enjoy feeding them.
this is a great shot showing it in a typical pose, great control of exposure here. thanks for sharing.
 
Great setting and lighting, Azzy, great pose too, well done. I like these Rodents too, very entertaining to watch (it costs me over 20 a month to feed just them |=)|).
