Mammals

A Eurasian red squirrel ( Sciurus vulgaris ) has found a nice sunny spot on the branch. Just before it came up here, I saw that it was inspecting a bird's nest. I only saw it from underneath the nest, so I don't know what it was doing, but I've read that they can eat eggs. Afterwards, it was sitting here for a long time (making the photographer happy and grateful!) and it looked like it from time to time had something like a little hiccup... Maybe it was digesting its breakfast? Nikon D7000 + Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

The roe deer ( Capreolus capreolus ) -- not the farmer's best friend, but I still think it's a beautiful animal, and fun to spot. Nikon D5000 + Nikkor 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp

Alert and attentive in the wild garden. Cozy pet and dangerous predator... Nikon D5000 + Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 Processed in UFRaw/Gimp
