a cabot squirrel

well, today wasn't the greatest for climbs, because there was a large throng at the tower for a Red Nose Day event! - didn't find out exactly what they were up to, but I'm afraid the crowds meant that Bex and Mark could only get complete 5 climbs between them.

However; one of the features of the Cabot Tower is that there are plenty of squirrels in the surrounding trees & shrubs - I have been wanting to get a photo for the blog, but with only a cameraphone you have to get up pretty close. Well today this fella got curious enough to be photographed. They're not exactly tame, but they are prepared to chance it every once in a while, to check out all the bizarre human activity!
