Today is Squirrel Appreciation Day

We had a Red in the garden on Sunday, we've often had Greys there but thats the first Red, the kids have now named him rusty, suitable name for afamily with a bay. Hopefully it'll be back.

Com' on you Reds

 

We have a number of greys visit us we had three in the garden at the same time amusing to watch
the scuffles and chases.
I put up a feeder box put some food in it, one took to days to work it out the others just ate the lid away.

I am surprised Bazza hasn't jumped in on this one?

 

My mate eats them

 

Have yourself a weekend in Hawes, there's a mini bus runs from town to a red squirrel reserve....loads of them and will take nuts from your hand ( it appears that the squirrels, like me couldn't read the signs saying not to !)

 

Remind me not to hold my nuts in my hand when visiting Hawes!

 

Wrong on many levels!

 

Did I spell Hawes wrong! Whores??

 

But how many do the plant thou .

 

Wow, I didn’t know that. Stayed there in the campervan last two years as well. Just gives me another excuse to visit the picturesque village with loads of pubs and the Wensleydale cheese factory again I’ll check the squirrel bus out on the Web

 

Luckily the former is correct

 

Is Constable Badger mixed race?

 

ooh I do love a red squirrel

 

I could bore everyone with my photos for days ... but I won't.
There's a campsite at Freshfields, Formby Point, Merseyside that is in the woods where there is a red colony.

 

Thanks, I was pleased with that one. I've gotten some really good shots recently.
