Description One of our resident squirrels having a look around having failed to get into the nuts.

This is a squirrel proof birdfeeder which smaller birds can fit between the bars but squirrels cannot. They do sometimes try and reach a paw in or hang on upside down and eat from underneath (see below).

This was taken through my own bedroom window. I have several other pictures of squirrels, however i am unsure to be honest if they are the same individual animal or not. Currently we have either 2 or 3 resident Squirrels in and around our garden.

Bite through string, smash feeder on the ground, get some nuts.

Funny you should say this, a few weeks ago one of the squirrels actually was on top when the string snapped under the weight. Even though hundreds of nuts spread everywhere the poor little guy ran away, scared half to death it seemed.

Thanks, i'm glad you like it. We rather enjoy imagining the Squirrel is calling down to his colleagues to go fetch some wire cutters
