In a very high tree I saw a strange bump on a branch!

So, I stopped the car on our way to the airfield, got out and zoomed in. What a surprise, as I have never seen a sleeping squirrel. I knew that he was waiting for the sun, as it was early and cold, the light was also still hazy.
Okay, I decided to wait him out, as he had to wake up some time and I wanted to be ready for action.
Not a very long wait as it was only about an hour before the fun started.
Watch a squirrel's morning routine!

Look! His eye is opening!

He pops up and does a quick look around!

Moves a little forward and starts playing a Banjo!

Then it's back to the trunk for some actifit stretches!

Up the trunk smelling for intruders!

On his high spot and uh oh, he saw me way down with the camera.

"Hey" he shouted, "No respect?" "Go away man before I climb down here and sort you out"!

While the squirrel was sleeping, I took some other shots in the area.

This little "Double-collared Songbird came for some nectar!

The "European Starling" looked lovely in the morning sun!

And so we left him in peace and continued on our journey to the airfield. I have never been beaten up by a squirrel and for my own safety I decided to rather flee Hahaha.
Not much to say here at the beginning of the week, as I received some shocking news this morning about the death of a very close friend. He transported all of Papillon's donated goods over the years.
So, I leave you all in peace and hope that you have enjoyed the pictures.
Blessings!
