Sciurus vulgaris

Hidden in plain sight?

"I was hoping to take a photograph of a vole looking down its hole but instead snapped a red squirrel looking for its nuts. 

Wonderful camouflage, only noticed the little rodent when it moved, I would have otherwise walked by unaware of its presence. Nowadays, the red squirrel is extremely rare in England. This photograph was taken in Germany - 2016."
