The Tale of Squirrel Nutjob. Amazing photo by @kevinlohman.bsky.social If you like this (if... hah!) then more contenders for the Comedy Wildlife Awards here: www.comedywildlifephoto.com/gallery/fina...
A grey squirrel leaps down from a branch on to a surprised looking grey owl with large yellow eyes.The squirrel is mid-air, limbs extended and mouth open. Angry little blighter... The scene is framed by pine branches and the background is blurred greens and browns
