Here are some more squirrel photos from the town centre. A lot of the squirrels have become quite fat - it looks like people have been feeding them a lot recently.
A Messy Eater
Squirrel busy hunting for peanuts.
Walking past Holy Trinity churchyard, I saw a squirrel up a tree 'flapping' its tail and making a screeching noise. I noticed that it had a nut in its mouth and at first thought it was stuck and couldn't get it out. The squirrel ran up and down the tree and across the grass before it finally buried the nut. The nut wasn't stuck, the squirrel was simply being over protective.
Feeding the squirrels in the city centre, near Holy Trinity Church.
The squirrel seemed more interested in the bag rather than the nut being offered.
I was trying to get a photo of the squirrel running towards me but it leapt out of the way at the last moment.
There are a lot of squirrels in the middle of Coventry, in the 'Cathedral Quarter', in the green areas around Holy Trinity Church near the old cathedral. We were in town for the Heritage Open Day, and Emma brought some peanuts along to feed to the squirrels.

Red Squirrel, photographed at the Formby Nature Reserve. We didn't manage to get close to the squirrels because it was vey busy and there were a lot of coach parties of noisy kids which probably scared them away. This was the only clear photo I managed during the hour or so that we were there.
The BBC seems to love reporting on squirrel stories, the latest one being about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Here are a few more from the site:
