Malabar hill squirrel

When I was going through a post on Facebook of one visitor of matheran and his desperation for spotting Malabar hill squirrel, I updated my Wish list for this trip of matheran by adding Malabar hill squirrel in the list.

I spotted this beautiful creature accidentally when I was trying to take photo of Indian paradise fly catcher.

I saw some movement  in bush in front of me. My son gestured towards the movement on tree behind the bush.

Suddenly a giant squirrel appeared fully before me. I was awestruck and busy grasping whatever was taking place before me. Bright coloured and long tailed squirrel was staring at me. I readied camera, but squirrel was running too fast on tree and hid itself behind leaves. I still managed to take 2-3 photos of squirrel.

It was really memorable to watch Malabar hill squirrel for me and my family members
