My mum's house in Brentford, London, has a small garden, yet by allowing space for wildlife, we have often seen it in the garden. This is often birds and squirrels, with the occassional fox. When I have been based there in the past, and also when visiting, if I found myself with a bit of free time, I would sit out in the garden and photograph and film the visiting animals. I know we are suppose to dislike grey squirrels, but I can't bring myself to, I grew up feeding them in parks as a child, and they were part of the natural world that inspired me. Also, they are very cute, especially when they are lying in the tree, posing!

This squirrel actually looks like a paid model in this photo, even the hand placement, so I can't help but smile when I look at it.
