Thanks for the comment. It's a shame there aren't any squirrels there. I find these furry beasts such a delight to photograph, though they often run around at such speed, I have trouble getting decent photos taken. Peanuts help to calm these over active creatures. I read somewhere in the net that it's recommended to crush peanuts into smaller pieces, otherwise squirrels carry them to their secret places for later use. Indeed a couple times when I gave whole nuts to this squirrel it vanished for a short time and then came back. I was somewhat excited as I haven't had a close encounter with these ones before so forgot some tips I had read about.
Best regards,
Tobio
