Working late...

As I was leaving the office this evening, this little squirrel bounded across the path in front of me and started to head up a nearby tree. He clearly wasn't worried about my presence, as I had plenty of time to delve into the depths of my hand bag for the compact camera, start it up, zoom in and take a handful of shots. This one is virtually straight out of camera.

One of the very few benefits of leaving the country estate based office at that time of night (i.e. After 7pm) is that the wildlife often "comes out to play": I also spotted rabbits, pigeons and other squirrels as I headed home, and in the past have seen deer and a hawk of some sort - just suited for Wild Wednesday!
