SQUIRRELS SQUABBLE OVER LUNCH

SQUABBLING over the last piece of grain, these hungry squirrels are determined to stock up on as much food as possible. The small group of European ground squirrels compete with one another as they eagerly nibble at their lunch at the Radouc Nature reserve in the Czech Republic. The lunch break was captured by 33-year-old photographer and engineer Jiri Michal, as he spent the afternoon at the reserve.
