ADORABLE SQUIRRELS PREPARE FOR EASTER BREAK

Scurrying along the branch of a tree, a little squirrel pushes a pram packed full of Easter treats. Joined by other red squirrels, the rodents fill their baskets with an array of multi-coloured eggs. The Easter preparations were captured by photographer Geert Weggen in his garden in Bispgarden, Sweden. The 48-year-old buys and makes props for the squirrels to play with and uses nuts and seeds to attract the animals to the scene.
