I actually found the squirrel satisfying because it normally so difficult to
see, let alone photograph. I got this guy virtually outside my hotel
cottage, which is adjacent to the Yala National Park, and therefore plays
host to a never ending cast of wild animals - I saw elephant, wild boar,
deer, snakes, leopards (some distance away from the third floor bar) all
within the hotel property.
Cheers
