Scoiattolo!

There’s a Squirrel up in the trees here at Lago di Alviano. It must be Red Squirrel, because we’ve seen them here before:

I’d recognise those ears anywhere:

Cute, aren’t they?

Today’s Squirrel has got the same distinctive ear tufts. It’s up high in a tree snacking on seeds:

We watch and wait but it never comes down and it never comes close. Seeing it, though, is thrill enough.
