I wondered why the blue tits were hopping round the cherry tree looking most put out. I looked again and saw an empty feeder that looked a bit odd. When I got closer, I saw that the bottom was missing and all the peanuts had dropped out. An even closer inspection revealed that the wire had been forced and the bottom prised off.
I soon realised who the culprit must have been. This photogenic squirrel who had posed for me a few minutes earlier.

Rats with fluffy tails! They're a blooming pest.
Did you see the series Chris Packham of 'Springwatch' did, 'The Animals' Guide to The British Isles'? There's a chap up in Northumberland who kills the greys. He lives in the no man's land between red squirrel country and grey squirrel total invasion country. He's actually got reds back in his wood now.
Aw I love the squirrels!
I love the reds. I think they're much prettier than the greys, with those tufty ears. The true Squirrel Nutkin.
