My friend and I have just returned home from a lovely week spent in North Wales. We love going to Porthmadog, Llanberis, Caernarfon and other nearby places, and went to a few places on Anglesey too. During our travels we managed to take a few photos of some of the various birds we spotted. Some in fields...

If this little chap is anything to go by, Strictly Come Dancing is clearly a hit in the squirrel world! I'm no expert, but that hold looks pretty good to me! You can find lots more giggle-inducing photos in our image library - guaranteed to brighten up your Monday morning!

Just come back from another visit to London. Whenever I'm there I always try to make time to go to St James' Park to feed the birds and squirrels. I just love it there. The birds are unbelievably tame and come to eat from my hands! Here is a lovely great tit doing just that (my friend Sue...

Rich There are some great shots being posted up here. One which caught my eye is of the Butterfly by Niknak, that shot needs to be printed to canvas. Here are a few non feathered things from sunnier days gone by. Lets hope it warms up again soon. Your beautiful photos reminded me of a couple...

Yesterday was 'Thatcham Fun Day' in the Broadway, in the Centre of Thatcham. Alongside the Market, there were stalls full of fun things to do and see, and create! Next to the RSPB stand we had Fairtrade and Veolia Recycling, which was wonderful! It was such a lovely, family atmosphere,...

Grey squirrels are not all that popular in the UK, but I have them in the garden and chase them from the bird-feeders. But this afternoon, I saw Dusty a Ragdoll (cat) in my alleyway, transfixed, staring at the wall of the house next door. Then I saw what he was looking at, a grey squirrel stuck, clinging...

AnnaBanana bramble67 Wow both of you sound like you get an amazing selection of birds. I am currently having fewer species, but more of the ones I am getting. Greenfinches x7 Goldfinches x 6 House Sparrows, too many to count Robins x 2 Dunnocks x4 Collared doves, feral pigeons...

Took this at Fineshade June 2009... This fella was determined to get into the feeder outside the hide

Albino Squirrel, lucky shot taken in a churchyard.

Hi Blackbird et al, I'm a regular to the Inverness area, it's often overlooked in favour of the West Coast but there are some real gems in the area. There is also less rain and consequently fewer midges! RSPB have several reserves nearby, most of them quiet and not very well-known, but very...

Hi there There is an article in Earth News about the Pox. A new scientific breakthough has caused an outcry for a 4 year study of the disease amongst the Reds. http://www.news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8283000/8283736.stm Personally, I have heard that the Red Squirrels are coming...

I have just watched the most extraordinary drama play out on my lawn. I spotted a squirrel while I was eating my breakfast; it was foraging for places to hide nuts and such, and I thought, that's the first squirrel I have seen for ages - it must be nearly Autumn... Anyway when I looked out...

Not often we get snow down South these days, but the squirrel didn't seem to mind...

Squirrel poised in a frozen embrace with his own tail, mid-lick. He stopped when he heard. So delicate and terrified that his body pulses. A sleek magician, he undulates into the tree-tops. With a pallid grey flash of a wiry tail, he is gone.

Here is a photograph of one of the Red Squirrels that frequently visit my garden. He was feeding furiously from the feeder for about half an hour!! Very special indeed!!

I was surprised to see the fox laying in the flower bed eyeing up the squirrel who was trying to get to the nuts for the birds.

Having moved to London recently as a student, I was missing walking and my dog. So I took a walk on Hampstead Heath, on a beautiful crisp morning, and captured this critter among the remaining autumn leaves.

This was a great moment for my wife and I, it makes us smile every time we see it. I took this still image on my new Fuji camera. It is one of our several regular visiting Squirrels in our front garden. No surprises though, we called this one Hazel.
