Big Chocolate, one of my local park squirrels, reaching for a walnut. Squirrels have amazing hands.1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/LilGrabbies
My crow friends politely stay away when I feed squirrels and small birds, then start arriving after I leave my squirrel feeding spot. This one is looking for his breakfast.1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/crowbro
This is Robbie who has recovered from a terrible eye injury and is now happily living his park squirrel life. His wee hands are amazing.1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/LilGrabbies
My squirrel friend Graham with a hazelnut: he looks adorable, but he's actually a wee thug and bullies the other park squirrels1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/LilGrabbies
This blue tit intercepted me on my way to feed squirrels in the park: who could resist giving him some nuts?1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/birding
My crow spot. They understand not to come close when I feed squirrels and small birds, but wait till I get to the statues. They are so clever.1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/crowbro
My husband's best kingfisher photo so far: I checked he was OK with me posting it. SE France2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/birding
A very confused blue tit seeing an almond for the first time. (The blue tits won't eat seeds from the bird feeder any more, they want the good stuff I get for squirrels.)2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/birding
My crow friends are very enthusiastic about the shelled walnuts and peanuts in their shell I give them, though they hide most of them rather than eating them.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/crowbro
I had never realised how beautiful European starlings are till I saw this one close up3mo ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/birding
My crow friends have taken to following me about rather than waiting in our usual spot. I now have five of them fluttering about near me when I try to take photos in the park.5mo ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/crowbro

Joy bringer: my little Robbie is very careful to lift up his nails to avoid scratching me when he holds my hand.1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
The human has started to break MY walnuts into little pieces and give them to robins. I'm truly disgusted. How can I stop this?1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrelproblems
An in-focus flight shot of a stork, and I haven't cut the head off! This is approaching a miracle shot for me. Taken in Les Dombes, France.3yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/birding
Why do some people not like lizards? The ones in my local park are so dainty, and look like tiny dragons. I love photographing them.7mo ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/reptiles
Graham is looking a bit anxious in this one, but he's actually just arranging a breakfast hazelnut1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/LilGrabbies
Feeling judged: I forgot his preference for the order he eats in, he wants hazel nuts first, not walnuts or almonds. He was horrified by the poor service.5mo ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Gregor reappeared after being missing for months. He just came down the tree he likes to be fed in (away from the other squirrels) and waited for breakfast like he hasn't been gone since early spring. I hope he was off chasing girls and the park now has little Gregors running about somewhere.11mo ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

Robbie looking all cool: he's actually incredibly impatient, and I got this photo in the microsecond between him arriving for his breakfast, and him jumping on me because he was sick of waiting for walnuts.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

Sweary Mary, one of my favourites, appeared covered in blood. She was swearing rather than crying, however, and I checked her and she had no injuries whatsoever. Things don't happen to Sweary Mary, she happens to a whole range of victims.1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

Squirrelly joy: the exact moment he stuffed the walnut right into his hungry little mouth.2mo ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Gregor looking very dapper this morning: he has the largest eyes of any of my squirrel friends2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Sweary Mary came back! She's fat and healthy. It's always such a relief when a missing favourite stops by for breakfast. I just wish she could tell me what she's been doing, and what her plans are.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
I won't dig my nails in as long as you don't try to move your hand - OK?10mo ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

Chirsty: No, no walnuts for me, I want hazelnuts, and I want them now.1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
My little pirate Robbie has fully recovered from his terrible eye injury. He had three breakfasts, and chased other squirrels away. All that's left is a scar that goes above and below his eye. Squirrels are incredibly resilient.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Being judged. I have run out of the pine nuts she loves and she was waiting for me to do better than the walnut I offered her. She was happy with hazelnuts, thankfully. I thought walnuts were the top snack, but apparently not.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Handsome Gregor reaching out for walnuts. I'm so happy he has returned and is turning up every day.10mo ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Baby's first walnut. We have two babies running about. This one ate his breakfast, then started buryig stuff, so I gave him a walnut. He found carrying it very challenging even though it's a small walnut.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

Still locked down here, so I am enjoying the beauty of the birds in the park: here's a smiley mallard3yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/birding
Squirrel thumbs are so tine and stubby. This is Robbie having a pine nut - he only eats them when there are no other squirrels around to interrupt his enjoyment.1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
I was looking through photos of my old squirrel friends from the past: this is Mrs Renoir2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
My wee boy Robbie has got a bad eye injury, but he's carrying on as if nothing is amiss. Do you think he'll be OK? He ate his breakfast, and then hid lots of nuts, as if this injury doesn't bother him.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

Here's Graham finally sitting on the new fence since it's an excellent place to swear at other squirrels from. He's losing his silvery grey winter coat and his ears have thinned a lot, so spring is clearly on the way.1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

My naughty little pirate Robbie. Look at how well his eye has healed. It doesn't bother him at all.1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Robbie is living proof that it's possible to have a head shaped like a cardboard box, orange teeth, and a scar running right across your eye, and yet still be adorably cute.1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Attempts were made to photograph squirrels while lying on the ground like a serious photographer, but they were having none of it, and sat on my head till I gave up2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Lovely Robbie is a girl! I was feeding her recently, and spotted that she has nipples. I keep either misgendering young squirrels or mixing up siblings.1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Sweary Mary appeared this morning. She rushed over, only pausing to bite Big Chocolate on the way. (Without Chirsty's support, she clearly felt that a kicking wasn't enough.) French squirrel girls are feisty.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Poor Chocolate, once the top thug in his part of the park, has been outgrown by Graham, his former victim, and Graham gives him a good kicking if he tries to throw his weight about. Chocolate is now a discrete, reserved squirrel. How the mighty have fallen!1yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
This is Sweary Mary making sure I can't feed other squirrels: she has a very firm grip of my hand.3yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

I feed squirrels in my local park, but some of the birds have decided I will feed them too. They have plenty of seeds in their feeders, but they apparently prefer walnuts.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/birding
This is one of this year's babies. The big males still let him eat in peace, but Sweary Mary chased him off this morning. The girls always put their little babies first, and Sweary Mary has a nest of babies somewhere.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
This boy is turning into a regular. He's from the Grumpy family as the Grumpy girls all tolerate his presence, but I can't work out who his mother is. He's the spitting image of Grumpinette, and is becoming a hand holder, just like her.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Big Chocolate: I am an enormously important squirrel, and my time is precious, so hurry up with the walnuts!2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

Chirsty emerged from the shadows for a moment this morning. She had gone through the usual process of licking, then peeing on, my feet, then she climbed up the fence and had walnuts.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

Sweary Mary and all the other mothers have moved territory, leaving the area I feed in to their babies. I miss them, but they are fat and healthy, and other people are feeding them. This is a baby.3yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
I'm stuck at home recovering from Covid, and missing my squirrel friends (who are being cared for by friends), so I was looking at old photos: this is a young Chocolat3yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

Robbie isn't doing that 'bright-eyed and bushy tailed' nonsense in this one. Perhaps he needs a coffee.3yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
I don't think I've shared this picture of my old squirrel friend Nounourse. He had a damaged jaw, so couldn't open nuts in their shell, and the vet had to trim his teeth. He lived a long and happy life despite that, and was one of my favourite squirrels ever.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

'You are under my control human!' Any attempt to take my hand away to get a good photo results in Grumpinous digging her nails in just hard enough to hurt, but not break the skin. She makes such a cute, if feisty, squirrel overlord.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Sweary Mary positioning a walnut. I just realised today how much damage she could do to someone if she wanted to: that jaw is wide! Despite all the swearing she does, and the occasional biting of photographers who interrupt her breakfast, all she does is just warn strangers to leave her alone.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

Grumpinette is very enthusiastic about whole walnuts, even though I have never seen her eat one. There must be little walnut trees shooting up all around where I feed the squirrels.2yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels

Grumpinette's baby girl is flourishing. She had a wounded back, but has healed up very well. It's a tough life for baby squirrels, but she's rocking it.3yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
Grumpinette experiences the awful moment when you have finished your walnut, but your human is too busy taking your photo to give you your next one immediately, and you think you may be kept waiting for more than 0.01 miliseconds you think is acceptable.3yr ⋅ squirrelfoot ⋅ r/squirrels
