For context he was really friendly but not acting how I've ever seen a squirrel act before, wasn't climbing and just kind of shuffled along the floor. Looked healthy but very small

He was after your nuts.
Is it your birthday? Or maybe he just wanted to say **cheerio, mate!**
Because you were dressed as a fucking 5ft 4in walnut Miranda. I keep telling you, it’s *weird* to just walk around the park in fancy dress, you have to stop.
“Conker!”
He could smell your nuts
Sometimes they just do – I’ve had it happen twice. I think they are just curious and haven’t learned to stay away from people yet.
Don’t try and help it though, it is illegal to care for _and release_ a grey squirrel without a licence. They are an invasive species.
Loads of squirrels in the parks around me do this. They are used to being fed and run up expecting nuts.
It thought you were someone else. I bet it was dead embarrassed when it realised.
He wanted some scritches behind his ears
To say hello and have a better look/sniff at you maybe?
He wants to tell you the good news about our lord and saviour Jesus Christ
Might have been thirsty?
Someone is probably feeding it so it thought you might feed it to.
The internet has taught me it was probably thirsty.
He recognised a fellow nutter!

He’s very cute 🥰
This is why older squirrels are nervous around people. The younger ones that arnt nervous of other creatures go up to them. And evolution sorts out the fine details
