Grey squirrel on a tree
Grey squirrel on a tree. The Eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) is a native of the US forests from the east coast, west to Texas. It eats nuts, pine cones and berries, as well as insects and young birds. The species was introduced to the UK in 1889 and has since driven out the native European red squirrel from much of the UK. Photographed in Dorset, UK, in February

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Grey squirrel perched gracefully on a tree trunk, its keen eyes gazing into the distance. Native to the lush forests of the United States, this Eastern grey squirrel has found itself at home in Dorset, UK. Its fur appears soft and luxurious, while its ears stand tall and alert. The Grey squirrel's diet is diverse, ranging from nuts and berries to insects and even young birds. Unfortunately, since their introduction to the UK in 1889, these agile creatures have posed a threat to the native European red squirrels. Their presence has resulted in significant decline for their red counterparts across much of Britain. Photographed amidst the winter landscape of Dorset in February, this image captures both the beauty and complexity of nature's delicate balance. The bushy tail adds an element of charm as it rests against the backdrop of an English countryside. Colin Varndell skillfully captures this moment with his lens, showcasing not just a single animal but also shedding light on larger ecological issues such as invasive alien species. This photograph serves as a reminder that our actions can have unintended consequences on delicate ecosystems worldwide.
