Wildlife photographer captures playful snaps of a red squirrel

A wildlife photographer captured playful snaps of a red squirrel in the Balloch wood near Creetown, Dumfries and Galloway, whilst on a walk.

The squirrel seemed undisturbed by Lesley-ann, even after she began giggling at its playful antics.

Lesley-ann described the encounter as an 'uplifting experience' and expressed her interest in sharing the images to bring others a moment of joy from the natural world.
