There's Always One ...

Not the best of shots as it was taken through glass in poor light and at the limits of my new lens, which is why I've had to tweak it somewhat.

Still, I thought it worth sharing for amusement value if nothing else.

This cheeky and clever little squirrel is a fairly new, but increasingly regular visitor to our garden and obviously thinks the feeding station has been put in place for its own personal use!

You're too kind Steve. If the shot has any appeal it's down to the antics of the squirrel and the processing, but I'm glad you liked seeing it and grateful for the star! :)

Cracking shot Paul...........they certainly are tenacious little creatures..!! We have lots of bird feeders in our gardens and squirrels are constantly trying their luck.

Even the so-called squirrel-proof feeders don't always work: www.ipernity.com/doc/keithburton/19692477/in/album/364095

Superb capture Paul. They are fun to watch but they can be a bit destructive in the garden.

autofantasia ^club has replied to Graham Chance ^club

So far Graham the only damage he's done is to the nuts he devoured, but I'll keep an eye on him for sure. ;)

We used to have a mouse that came to visit our garden when we lived in Harrogate. We had a flip lid nut feeder at that time and he's come along, flip the lid up, get inside and stuff some nuts into his pouch before heading off with them! :)

Bought a feeder on a Saturday and noticed it was empty by Sunday. On closer inspection a squirrel had doubled the size of the hole to extract all the seed.
