The Miser's Hoard

Squirrels make pretty good photographic subjects. They're always... up to something.
This one could be auditioning for the pantomime villain. He looks so avaricious.

There is an episode of Dad's Army called The Miser's Hoard, which features Private Frazer as the archetypal miser, hoarding his gold Sovereigns in coffins. I'm calling this squirrel Frazer.

  2. Frazers a real character isn't he, probably my favorate out of all the cast members after Mannering of course. The episode when he played his twin brother was just gold dust

  8. Miser's hoard is so right - and then you find saplings growing in places you know you didn't plant any! Lovely sequence!
