Day 226 - Flying squirrel

The fine weather continues for the moment so I take an evening stroll into the forest just before sunset. It's still warm enough to get away with wearing just a T-shirt but the height of summer seems to be over. There is not much in the way of wildlife at this time of day apart from noisy crickets and flies. At one point a swarm of very aggressive flies mobbed me. The flies were unusually persistent, ignoring my flaying top and only a hundred-yard sprint finally dispersed them. There were some squirrels and dragonflies out but the fading light made photographing them difficult, though I did catch this squirrel in mid air as it made a daring leap between trees.
