Snow squirrel

We have been waiting for ages for the snow to arrive so when I saw it was forecast for the whole weekend I realised that it would be two long days of photography as I really wanted to capitalise on the conditions. I really wanted to get some images of the red squirrels covered in snow and to do this I knew that I would have to be at the site before the snow arrived. When the snow did start the ground and the squirrels turned white in a matter of minutes.

Talented Russian nature photographer Vadim Trunov has had close encounters with squirrels before, but this is the first time we've seen his photos of squirrels playing or shooting photos of each other! The photographer recently published some photos he's captured of squirrels that seem to be building snowmen or playing volleyball with nuts.
