Peek A Boo!!

This young squirrel decided to take a rest in our wooden wishing well hiding in the flowers.It was a red hot day he was there for about 10 hours only moving to readjust his position in the shade. Thought he was injured but couldnt see any injuries on him, We got advice from the RSPCA and sure enough as day turned to dusk he scurried off back to his home
