Kiel’s red squirrels are amazingly darling. Every time I see one, I have to stop and watch it. They are smaller than ours at home, they’re red, and they have tufts on their ears. What’s not to like?!
I obviously didn't take this picture
squirrel i saw from the balcony
You can kinda see how small they are in the picture, even if you can only kinda see his ear tufts.
Another animal that I notice here: seagulls
They are active and loud all the time, most noticeably at night time. For some reason they like to fly around the humanities buildings across the street. The university area clears out by the time the fitness center closes, so when you are walking home from Oblomow or somewhere, the only thing you hear are the seagulls. It’s kinda eerie, not gonna lie.
Here’s another picture someone else took of Kiel seagulls.
Now while the squirrels are smaller here, the pidgeons are really large. I think they are wood pidgeons.
The red squirrels are cute, but you might not like them if they chewed off your siding and took up residence in your attic! (Maybe that never happens in Kiel.)
