While I was out walking the other day, I noticed that the snow had melted quite a bit on the south facing slopes. (See this pic).  So I thought it might be possible to walk to the small lake or pond at Béplan without having to tramp through the snow.  Well, I was almost right…

      Thank you Dorothea. 🙂 Yes, those squirrels definitely have dark fur and tufted ears as well. I looked them up online to find out what they were called but, rather perversely, they were described as red squirrels… Work that one out! See this much better picture for example: http://rubli.info/gallery/2011/05/30/9

          I think they’ve maybe evolved to blend in with the dark forest!
