Grey Squirrel on the sunflower seeds
Monday 29th June 2015
We have a number of squirrels visiting our garden at various times of the day. They all have different attitudes to food. We quite often put apples on the bird table and most will eat them. Nuts are a favourite, but we have one female (above) who loves sunflower seeds. She has two methods of gorging on them. She either attaches herself to the post of the bird table (as above), reaches out to grab hold of the feeder, or her more daring stunt, is to climb up onto the bird table, then with hind legs gripping the top wire of the feeder, hang upside down and eat the seed. She has a very big appetite for the sunflower hearts and even bypasses nuts and apple etc. to get to the seed. We had some friends call today when the squirrel was active, sadly Dennis had battery failure on his camera, so I took this shot for him.
