Squirrel Encounter

We had just finished breakfast this morning when Mrs MW spotted a squirrel scampering along the pavement on the other side of our cul-de-sac. It stopped, crossed the road towards us, and....

....climbed the wooden frame which carries the small birds' sunflower feeders. It did manage to....

....extract some seeds from the feeder but evidently not enough to make it worthwhile staying so....

....having checked the area where any fallen seed is protected from the crows, it....

....crossed back to the other side of the road and headed to the area where a squirrel, possibly this one, spent a fair amount of its time last autumn collecting and burying cob nuts - see earlier post here..

All this happened right outside the kitchen window. This is by far the closest we've had a squirrel to the house and we do hope it will return as I've put out a squirrel-exclusive peanut feeder especially for this little adventurer.
