Or 'brown rat' to you and me. I saw this remarkably bold individual at lunchtime today.

I must be one of the very few people who stops and watches the rats in the park. They tend to keep under cover and slip by unnoticed by most people (a mutually agreeable strategy I suspect). It's odd knowing that they are around, but I'd be more concerned to see them in the street. Note how this one exits the scene!<\/p>\n

I also took loads of photos of squirrels (who crave attention, and receive it constantly). I'll sort out some more photos tomorrow, but as a teaser of what I did get here's one very lucky peanut lover!
