Having considered a variety of subjects for some reason this photo of a Grey Squirrel worked for me. It is actually an Eastern Gray Squirrel, native to eastern North America. The species was introduced to the U.K. where it has replaced the native Red Squirrel over most of the country.
As this individual was photographed in England it’s known as a Grey Squirrel.
