Pretty Polly and nobbled Nutkin.

Since we bought a new squirrel-proof peanut feeder, the parakeets have colonised it and the blue tits and great tits hardly get a look-in. This one was particularly cute.



The feeder features a sliding metal tube. As the squirrel puts its weight on it, the tube slides down, covers the peanuts and deposits poor Nutkin on the grass. He just can't figure it out at all.



And talking of squirrels, this one looks related to a lemur! Wonder if it's suffered an injury to its tail?

That's interesting - I've never seen a stripe on a squirrel's tail before. You could be right about the injury.

Where did you get the squirrel-proof nut feeder from? Both me and Mum would be interested in getting one of those.

Alan bought it on ebay for £14.99.
