Far away from the madding crowds - Squirrel picnic

Far away from the madding crowds - Squirrel picnic, originally uploaded by Rusty Marvin (Dreaming of mid summer).

LR-8180 - Red Squirrel Alverstone Mead Local Nature Reserve
Far away from the madding crowds at the Isle of Wight festival on the Southern side of the island near Sandown is a very quiet place off the Newport to Sandown railway track (now a footpath/bridleway). Popped over whilst I had use of a 70-200mm lens with a Mk III x 2 extender in the hope of filing a CF card with picture of squirrels (yep saw the same two twice in a hour visit). Further information on Red Squirrels click me to find out about 3,500 inhabitants.
