The squirrels in the Gardens farther downstream, in the town centre, are usually pretty tame, sometimes even feeding out of children's hands. Perhaps here, a couple of miles upstream, in less formal gardens and with fewer passers-by, they are a little more suspicious of human interference. This one was doing its best to avoid my attention, characteristically moving round the tree trunk as he climbed and as I moved round.
