Walking in Rushmere Country Park yesterday, I noticed a Grey Squirrel in the tree above me about to make a leap from one tree to the next. Quickly focussing on the mammal I managed to catch these dramatic shots of it flying across the abyss. As I had no time to set up my camera for a shot of a black silhouette against a relatively bright sky I had photoshop fill in the shadows for me, so a bit grainy photos.
This image almost gives the impression that the fully stretched squirrel has an flap of skin between its legs, mimicking the Flying Squirrels of the rain forest.
Just catching its target branches, the squirrel lands safely, even though it looked a bit heart stopping in these stopped images.
Earlier I was amazed at the colours of another squirrels tail.
