My Top 5 Favourite Squirrel Photos/Videos

 In today's post, we will go through my favourite photos of one of the most majestic animals we have on the blog - squirrels. You can probably understand why I am picking the squirrel to do this post about; they are one of the rarest and most elusive animals we have had the opportunity to record - our cameras allow a glimpse into their secretive lives. Let's see what photos I have picked to represent this stunning icon of the wilderness.

5. A Good Quality Photo

It was an absolute privilege to be able to capture these photos of the enhancing squirrel. The quality is quite something.

4. Close Up of a Majestic Animal

Whilst having the camera trap out for the post 'Soggy Badger', we got a much more thrilling creature than what the title gives away. You guessed it, it was a lucky glimpse of a squirrel. Even better, it came right up to the camera! Unfortunately, it did knock the camera over meaning that we got no more squirrels that week.


3. Squirrel Action Shot 

There is no question in why I picked this photo of our friend, the squirrel. It truly emphasises why squirrels are so hard to get even just a glimpse of. Thanks to their  superb climbing skills and their ability to jump around branches, they can keep a watchful eye on us, even if we can't see them.

2. Night Squirrel

Maybe another reason that the stunning squirrel stays elusive is the fact that it often comes out at night.

1. Squirrels and Jays

Often, I put seed out to entice the remarkable animals to the camera. However, sometimes they are joined by a much less remarkable bird, the jay. I have had many videos of these fascinating interactions so here is just one, holding the number one spot.

They were my top 5 favourite pieces of footage of these enhancing animals. Who knows, maybe one day we will get some more priceless footage.
