It is at this time of year that the grey squirrels in my local park are starting to take an interest in each other with the view to mating, and although I observed several pairs active in this respect it is next to impossible to follow them with a telephoto lens. Because they move so fast from tree to tree, I concentrate on individuals not quite so dynamic. Even so, I still have to react quickly to get any images worthwhile, enticing them with nuts to get them to co-operate for the camera.
Also visible in the park on this fine winter's afternoon are the early signs of the approach of spring, as crocuses push their way above ground, and daffodil shoots become visible.
300mm f/2.8 AF-S VR Nikkor. 1/2500 second at f/3.2. ISO 400.
