Here we have a Grey Squirrel not looking terribly guilty about being caught in the act of chomping some tasty foodstuff or other. Taken back in 2007 in Exmouth, a nice little seaside resort in Devon. This was in the middle of summer (late June, I think) and there was plenty of food around, so there were quite a few squirrels in this town park.
Wondering about the title of this piece? Simple, really: here in England we always pronounce "squirrel" as two very distinct syllables: roughly SQUIRR-uhl. Some Americans pronounce it as either nearly, or actually, just one -- and Squirl is what that sounds like to me. And since the Grey Squirrel is an immigrant from America... =:P
