Field Notes

Description:

I normally do not upload photos of people, but I couldn't resist this one. The squirrels in this park in London were so tame, they would come to your hand to eat nuts. Some, as seen on my mom in the first picture, would jump onto you!

Lots of times, they would take the nut from you, then go a few steps away from you, turn away from you and eat the nut, then come back for more. The squirrel in the second picture hopped onto my camera bag to eat his nut.

Habitat:

A park in the city.

Ha, friendly? Voracious I would say ;-)...
Haha looks like we've both been there! I forgot to mention that that's where it was, but I did type it into the location. The animals there were so friendly (check out the spotting right before this one)!
St. James Park! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/17165674 Cool spotting!!
Thank you! I still have a lot more spottings still on my camera (mainly waterfowl from the same park), but I need to clear space on my computer first before I can upload them.
That's a bold little creature! I'm so glad to see you posting from England where you've gone to get your Young Photographer's award. Congratulations again!
