Industrious mice!


Industrious mice!

I was amused to see that the local mouse population had collected these hazel nuts and placed them inside a stacking tray inside an empty but dry coldframe on my nursery

lol.....Busy little critters aren't they? Looks like there are plenty of broken shells from those already consumed too.

Clever arent they, I think the squirrel usually helps himself to our hazel nuts, always shells at the base of the trees.

Ours to Dawn , the ground is littered with the shells ,there's never any nuts for us , I collected the cob nuts early one year hoping to beat them to it , they weren't quite ready so neither we or the squirrel had a feast . :o(

If you have that many mice you will have to watch any Crocus bulbs.
