Red with walnut

This enterprising little guy has established his empire not far from the Interpretive Centre. A nut-laden walnut tree is home to a newly built grassy nest, while an adjacent nest box has also been taken over. While he was busy shelling one of the large walnuts, another red crept up and with a quick glance up to the branch where this guy was sitting, grabbed a nut from the ground and ran off at top speed, looking, I swear, very pleased with himself. Meanwhile, a little later, a black squirrel loped along and grabbed a nut, which sent this guy into a paroxysm of rage!
