Good stuff. That tail isn't easy, but you've managed it.

Hello LBM,
they do have remarkable tails, quite a challenge to make them look 'real' rather than a feather duster lookalike.
Thank you for your kind comment.
Sarah :)

Hi Sarah
This is realistic but not too much so. Varied colours of the branches are very effective.

Hello Cherry,
pleased you like the squirrel...didn't want to produce the usual sit up and beg pose (most attractive and popular pose by far). Anyway this one tries to raid nests so it appealed to me.
Sarah
sorry haven't responded sooner... just back from holiday today.

Hello JMG,
the squirrel is still raiding the nests for eggs...the eggs could be scrambled in today's heatwave!!!

Hello John H.,
saw another squirrel yesterday (I was on holiday) but it was a miserable looking young grey one...not at all like this hybrid
