Have a lovely break Bluesky friends. Now I’m betterish, my resolution for next year is to be more engaged here, and post more Squirrels. #sqrlpix

Extreme close up of a damp grey squirrel standing on an iron gate. A green garden is in the background with a single tree in it, where the squirrel lives.

I’d love a Jaguar car, mental rebrand or not.

The squirrels are back, and in numbers. Evil neighbour and Rentokil got them down but not out. Nature 1 : Evil Neighbour 0

Last week at the lovely job I’ve had for 5+ years before I move to scary big job on Thursday. So having Ice cream sour beer.

Ice cream sour beer. 5.5% proof.
Very sour.

After months of fearing that pest control may win and permanently wipe out the squirrels around me I’ve had a visitor! So all the money spent on trying to wipe them out has been wasted it appears. Nature 1 Evil Neighbour 0 Welcome back lil friend, let me get you all the nuts. #mammals

An Eastern Grey Squirrel stands on a fence leaning in towards the camera. It’s an extreme close up and the squirrel fills the frame.
A winter garden is in the background with green grass and a tree with no leaves.

I had some health news today that I was told to prepare for the worst about but turned out fine, so in your face Dr. I’m celebrating alone with an over-priced fruity beer that I actually really recommend as it’s delicious, if a bit odd. Tastes proper custardy. #custard

I was griping to my best friend about Joe Rogan and expressing my bewilderment at his money and ‘popularity’, and at the end of my 5 minute rant she turned to me and said “who is Joe Rogan?”. And I was reminded she has no social media at all and is the happiest person I know. And smartest.

Hello bluesky, I seem to be joining on the perfect day! Not sure what I will be using this account for yet but was referred by the one and only squirrel man @callame.bsky.social

If you’re wondering where the squirrel pics are I’m very sad to say that my new neighbours “didn’t like the noise they make” so hired Rentokill. Unfortunately it looks like they’ve managed to kill them all from my garden and nearby as I haven’t see one for weeks. No exaggeration to say I’m bereft.

It’s a bit late in the day but Happy National Squirrel Appreciation Day everyone, from Kentucky Squirrel and me. #mammals

A female grey squirrel stood on a fence, its rear paws with front paws clenched in front of it. Staring straight to camera. A garden with green grass is behind and a tree stands in the garden. The squirrel lives in the tree.

I’m 52 & like most people I’ve had challenges. I’m officially leaving the safe job I love after 6 years for a scary, grown up & high-profile one & I’m terrified. Imposter syndrome level 28. My boss is 33 & I’m going to miss her so badly, she made me a better man. Life. Here’s a squirrel. #mammals

Hope everyone is having a peaceful few days. To those that aren’t; keep going, tunnels end more often than not I’ve learned. And for those same people that this time of year is a challenge, here’s Kentucky desperately trying - and eventually succeeding - at carrying off 3 big nuts. #mammals

Close up of a grey squirrel trying to get 3 monkey nuts in its mouth. There’s a sunny green garden in the background.

Another shot from a few weeks ago with the brown leaves falling from Kentucky’s tree in the background. I appreciate I’m a bit of a one trick pony with my squirrel shots but when they pose like this I can’t resist. Love them looking healthy like in this image. Look at that groomed tail! #mammals

Grey squirrel stood side on, on a railing, looking direct in to camera. His left paw is slightly raised. His tail is healthy and bushy hanging off the rail. A tree is in the background with brown autumn leaves starting to fall. The tree is where the squirrel lives.

Callame @callame.bsky.social · 11/12/2023

The leaves have gone from Kentucky’s tree now so I get a good view of his drey. It was a bird box, but it’s his home now. Love his tail-styling in this shot. #mammals

Damp grey squirrel sitting on a railing, facing the camera. He’s holding a nut in his front paws. A wintery garden is behind him 25 feet away and though the trees are bare for winter the garden grass is bright green.

Having a bad week, made a bit better by squirrel visits. Squirrels are reciprocal animals, & I get brought twigs as thanks for being a free nut dispenser. Today almost improved when I was brought a KFC bone, but when I went to get my phone for a pic a magpie stole it. Thanks Magpie. #mammals

Got sunday night fear of the week ahead, so here's a bonus squirrel shot taken from inside my flat this past summer, which feels a long time ago... #sqrlpix

Squirrel sat on the other side of window blinds on a rail with the sun projecting only it's shadow onto the blinds. The top of a green plant is just visible at the bottom of the shot.

It's that time again! Our relationship is transactional - Kentucky only gets breakfast if he gives me a good pose & lets me snap him. He outdid himself here. Did you know, research suggests that in the right environment, a single squirrel can plant 10,000 trees in it's lifetime. #mammals

Another day, another pic of Kentucky & today's fact is that a test by Yale into squirrel memory showed one squirrel able to locate - with pinpoint accuracy - 900 of 1000 buried nuts over a 2 year period. Best guess is he used landmarks as a guide. 2nd fact: his memory is better than mine. #mammals

A grey squirrel on a rail. Standing on his rear paws with front paws clenched in front. His nose is raised high pointing to the top right of shot.
It's autumn and the day is grey.
You can see the tree the squirrel lives in to the right of the image. The grass the tree stands in is green and lush.

It's wet & windy in London, but Kentucky still wants his breakfast. Squirrel fact; squirrels will engage in deceptive behaviour if they think someone is watching them & will 'fake bury' nuts, throwing leaves in the air for dramatic effect;I love this behaviour! source: shorturl.at/fjOZ7 #mammals

Damp grey squirrel sits on a fence in close up. You can see the full squirrel but not much of his tail. He's on his rear paws with front paws clenched in front at his chest. It's a grey autumn day and an out of focus garden is in the background. You can just see some branches of the tree where the squirrel lives on the right of the image, and the green of the grass garden.

Another shot of Kentucky who lives in the tree in the background. I love this shot not just for the pose and the colours, but how healthy my furry friend looks. Bottom right is the evidence of his nut habit. #mammals #sqrlpix #squirrel

Healthy grey squirrel with lush brown and grey fur and bushy tail, standing on rear paws with front paws held clenched close to chest. He stands on a rail close to camera. An autumnal garden is behind, with green grass and a tree (where the squirrel lives) with brown leaves, about 50% of which are now gone. There's a pile of empty monkey nut shells bottom right of the picture.

Day 3 on Bluesky and a 3rd pic of a squirrel from my garden. I love these expressive little guys so much. #sqrlpix #squirrel

Close up of a grey squirrel, showing top half of body and head, 3 quarter on pose with front paws clenched in front of him. Bright green sunlit garden behind.

Day 2 on Bluesky and a few moments after yesterday's pic. For context, I started befriending the squirrels in my garden during lock down and it's no exaggeration to say without them, I would have lost it all locked alone in my tiny London flat.

Grey squirrel stood on a railing, looking directly into camera, stood on hind legs, with a monkey nut in his mouth and a sun dappled garden slightly out of focus in the background 30 feet away. There's a tree in the garden. (The squirrel lives in this tree)

Day one on Bluesky and I'm going to use it as god intended by posting pics of the squirrels in my garden. This one here is called Kentucky. #squirrel
