Description
A sign of autumn is the sight of grey squirrels, gathering sweet chestnuts. The difficulty photographically, was finding a squirrel in good light with its head up off the ground and showing the nut. This is my third year trying to get a shot I was happy with. I used a long lens, to keep my distance, and fortunately the squirrel noticed me, and appears to have posed with the nut.
