Interestingly, I looked up the origin of the word scarper after writing the last paragraph - turns out it comes from good old Punch and Judy

Nuts!!
All the squirrels I saw last weekend were digging around in the soil, trying to remember where they buried their nuts last year. This is the only one I found that was nut-less. Sorry about the annoying twig in front of it - I had to take the opportunities as they came before the little fellas scarpered, and this one turned out well, despite the slight obstruction.

What kind of squirel is this? Do you know?
A common grey - these guys were introduced to the UK and have ended up being more successful than our old red squirrels - a shame as we hardly ever see reds any more
