The photo above shows the Alhambra in the
beautiful city of Granada. My visit there last
week was made even better by the sighing of this little creature
:

We couldn't believe our luck when we saw our first
Spanish red squirrel! You can see it posing on the
stone in the picture above.

You can see from this final photo that the squirrel is actually
quite brown in colour. Apparently this is
very common in Spain, but they are the same species as ours, just a
bit darker!
The next blog will feature a film
clip of this squirrel ......
