I think 'fat' is a fair description - most Kelsey Park squirrels are very tame and ridiculously well fed. It can make them a pain to photograph: they strike a nice pose on post or tree, but as soon as you stop to point the camera they tend to charge towards you in anticipation of peanuts. And if you don't immediately provide a tasty morsel, quite a few of them do this to let you know they're still there (shot several millennia ago with K-7 and Tamron 18-250)...

I think my favourite is the Egyptian goose - the combination of title and picture just made me laugh . Brilliantly caught and then titled
let the education continue
