Description

Not posted for a while, Problems with the computer, out of action! I was totally lost without it. lol. JeffG7BRJ took me to Heaton Park, Friday. We were planning to go with cameras to The Transport Museum, we picked the wrong day, it is only open Weds, Saturdays and Sundays. Its another place I can't believe that I haven't visited, only 4 miles from my home. Anyhow, we had first stopped off at Heaton Park, Manchester, loaded with nuts in the hope to entice the little critters, birds and Grey Squirrels. They were very friendly! My nerves aren't great so I was quite happy with this one handed shot. Have a great weekend!

How sweet and how brave you are. Those little nippers scare me when they get too close. Maybe because our pet squirrel has accidently raked me with those daggers they call claws. Too bad the Museum was closed. But then, great excuse to take off again in a few days.

Fantastic shot Alan, does this remind you of someone else on RR? One handed shots? lol. This is a cracker, I want to see the one biting your thumb though. I tell you what my legs are killing me this morning, all that walking I did. First thing I did when I got home was down a couple of pills.lol. A bit of a disasterous day but I think we still managed to have some fun. I enjoyed it, I just wish I could get down on my knees like you did. Superb capture, aint it great when they come up to you like this, people don't believe you half the time when you tell them. Bravo!!!!!5+++++

This is great! It's unbelievable how tame they can be. The ones in my neighborhood freak out when they see people, and take off running. Congratulations on a wonderful capture!

A great picture Alan. You sure won his trust. Must be a nice feeling to have this little creature trust you enough to eat out of your hand. Thanks for sharing, Sig...
