My God, that is beautiful! You are lucky, do you know that? Are you living close to woods?

Thanks Terratoonie and Katarina for comments and to all the others taking the time to view and like

The woods are less than 50 yds away and act as a natural barrier between our houses and the M40 Motorway down a hill about 200yds away.
So many grey squirrels now that they are considered a pest.
This one has it's drey in a Leander next door but one. I suppose I should not encourage her into the garden but she has been around for over three years now
I love all animals (even Cats) but just watch a squirrel and it soon solves a problem like getting nuts from a 'squirrel safe' nut feeder. This one has a habit of digging holes in the lawn to bury nuts . Even digs up plants in patio tubs looking for the nuts it buried . The upside is her sense of smell. She can smell a hiding cat and acts as a watch dog (???)
The birds know if the squirrel is in the garden 9/10 it's safe to feed. Not taking to much to chance now so have thinned the hedge right back so no hiding places for attack.
