So some news from my garden….Â
A couple of cute squirrels have been visiting my back yard every day the past couple of weeks, gorging themselves on the excess bird seed that drops to the ground from my bird feeder.
I have a clear view of them from the desk where I sit all day and I have found them entertaining distraction.
Despite the plentiful seeds on the ground, Scamper, here, isn’t satisfied with “leftovers” so he cooks up a plan. You can see him here, plotting in the trees.
After several failed attempts, involving squirrel contortion and acrobats, many resulting in near-falls to the ground, he finally succeeds in accessing the storehouse.
Not quite so cute.

So I moved the feeder to a branch further out, so he couldn’t reach. But he was persistent… and this is what I found him doing today. I laughed out loud when he lost his grip and fell to the ground (only about 4 1/2 feet), but find myself scolding him now every time he attempts this.Â
Naughty Squirrel
Time to get a new, squirrel proof bird feeder.
Scamper the squirrel is very cute but also very, very naughty, even Beatrix Potter would be cross with him. Tsk, tsk.
He is a very cute squirrel. But yes, naughty. 🙂
I really really wish I lived in WA so that I could see cute things like this in my garden! How fun!!
Thank you for posting this! So cute, how lucky you are to look out your window to see sweet scampering squirrels.
What a determined and bird-seed addicted little squirrel you have there! Those photos are great!
he’s quite the acrobat :o)
I gathered some acorns from my trees and sent them to you yesterday. I hope the little fellow likes them. The little tree squirrel that lives in my yard sure likes them . He’s been so busy gathering them and stashing them in a nearby bird house. it’s such fun to watch.
