With a flick of its bushy tail and eyes wide with curiosity, the red squirrel descends headfirst down the bark. Every movement is purposeful — the sharp claws gripping the rough surface, the ears perked, and the nose twitching in the cool morning air.
In this fleeting beam of light, the squirrel becomes a silent shadow among the trees, ever watchful, ever agile. Survival here favours the nimble.
