[Update: As of September 21st, voting in now closed. The winner by a country mile is photo #5 taken by Captain!]
Who knew you could have so much fun with two bottles of red wine and a squirrel?
One of the best things about our trip is just taking one’s time. It’s such a luxury, that in this busy world of ours, we are able to be entertained by a wee squirrel for hours on end! Just sitting quietly watching a squirrel going about its daily business of eating, twitching and darting here, there and everywhere.
We took lots of photographs: each trying to capture the best photo and be crowned ‘Wildlife Photographer of the Year.’
So here they are – the best; edited down from about 503 photos! For those bright eyed amongst you you’ll notice there were in fact three squirrels – which we didn’t realise until the next morning!
Feel free to let us know the best photo 🙂

I’m gunna have to go with #5!
Thanks….not mine!
Number 5 for the win!
Thanks…will let you know the winner later!
#4 the composition is fab!!! And #5 is just damn cute!!! Can I have 2 votes? Is that fair? Xxx
Of course you can have two!
I like number 2 the best with number 3 a close second
Thanks for your vote!
Dad chooses number 1 followed by 5
Anni chose 3 and 2 as a dead heat. She approached this very seriously! Discounted others for , no complete tail ,presence of a human arm
The tails are unusually wide and flat
Look forward to finding out who has won . Is the prize the last bottle of red or has that been drunk.
Excellent…..trying to get a few more votes….you’d think people have better things to do!!!
Number 5 ????
A very popular choice!
My vote is for 1 and then 3. The angle of 1 is fun and 3 is really just a classic squirrel photo. Love your work 😉
🙂
No 1 due to its expression!
Too cute!
#4 follow by #1. I want to know what is Ms. Simmon’s vote?
Number 3!
I love number 1. I wonder what she was trying to do it?
Do you mean 2? The cup had red wine in it…if I’d been a second later the photo would have been of wine all over the squirrels face. Now that would have been the winner!
Sorry if I’ve posted this message multiple times…I like #4 and #5 best. I suppose if I had to pick #5 because of the human interaction but then maybe #4 actual fits the category of ‘Wildlife Photography’ better??!
Good point!
#1 all day long!
A classic!
When is the result going to be announced!
We are currently sitting on the terrace drinking a bottle of a very special Greek wine 13.8 per cent.!
Off to Kalamata tomorrow morning to find out if Anni can travel back to Melbourne next Tuesday .
Lots of love
Mum
I cannot distinguish 3 squirrels!
I vote 5! He’s the best by far x
It’s popular choice.
#1 & then #5, it’s a close call!
Both Captain’s 🙂
