more friendly creatures.

These little birds are Blue Tits and we get a lot of them at mum's little feeders. They are tiny and fast and seem to eat a lot. haha. But they are cute because they flit around and hide in the hedge. Then there are the cute squirrels who melt my heart. look at that tail with snow on it! Eeee! So cute. And, that's my Mum, who loves a bit of wildlife. Her favourites are the rabbits, but they've not been around fora while- probably hibernating. Anyway, more squirrel pictures? Ok! This one is pretty casual but there is another smaller squirrel that is super frightened and runs in, grabs food and runs away again. It's pretty cute! I think he's the one that I saw in autumn running back and forth across the front drive with food in his mouth all day. haha.

All in all, it's pretty amazing to see them chowing down when I go into the kitchen to make a cuppa.
:] For any of you who were wondering how I got these shots- I used a telephoto lense that I rarely get out, but works great for catching wildlife. (Heres a photo I took when in South Africa with that lense, back in 2007) I always enjoy shooting with it- but as I said, I don't often get it out.
