THESE are the amazing pictures of a squirrel flying through the air at a wildlife centre.
Photographer Andy Stark, 59, took a trip to Aviemore and booked himself into the squirrel hide at the Rothiemurchus Centre, in the Cairngorms National Park.
As he approached the wooden hut in the middle of the forest, the dad-of-two was stunned to see the brown squirrel flying through the air.
Andy, from Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire, says he quickly grabbed his camera and captured the flying squirrel.
He said: "I'm absolutely chuffed.
"I booked myself into the squirrel hide which is a hut with windows open and you can photograph the squirrels jumping for nuts.
"I've seen these kinds of shots before but I had no idea how they were taken.
"When I saw the first picture I took, that was the highlight of the day.
"This squirrel jumped four times but I was only able to photograph it three times."
Andy, who visited the hide last weekend, says people put nuts on branches and logs so that the squirrels can jump to get them.
