They also seem to realized that the dog can't get them through the glass.

European red squirrel, northern Germany.

We live right next to a park, where a tree grows partially over our balcony, so the little one can safely come and go. Over the past weeks she's gotten more curious and has been exploring every corner of the balcony, she's also gotten more comfortable with our presence.

A few days ago we were having tea outside and she joined us briefly, so we put out some hazelnuts and she returned immediately from her lookout on the tree.

First she checked from a safe distance.

She then brought the nuts into several hiding spots around and returned again, at this point she really started to muster us. She then made a big jump right on to our table, ran across it until she sat 30cm in front of my girlfriend and stared right into the camera, that's where we took the title picture.

The photo is slightly out of focus because she ran up to us so boldly, we couldn't turn the zoom down quickly enough.

After that photo we put the camera down, to enjoy the moment more, she ran around us a little bit and then retreated back to her tree.

It seems like we made a friend that day, she comes by periodically, we bought more nuts and although she is careful around us, she accepts our presence. We can move slowly and also talk normally, just fast movements makes her a little skittish.

So greetings from Hazel to all of you, we wish you and your squirrel friends a merry autumn!

Yes! In places. Aberdeen is nearly grey free! The strategy seems to be push that line southwards. Tayside and Dundee has to be next, but the map on the page clearly indicates a chance of defending in the borders too. Great Sunday read for us all

Video footage shows a rare white squirrel roaming the streets of a UK town.

In the footage, posted to Facebook by Maria Smith, the white squirrel is seen circling the pavement, perhaps looking for crumbs, before running off down the road.

This is the first time I've found a squirrel sitting in the tray. They usually sit on the countertop to eat. This is also smaller than most of our brown squirrel customers.

My favorite squirrel buddy and me. She's definitely the most friendly and gentle of the bunch.
