Looking for nuts

Lol they are so funny aren't they, I've been watching one this morning digging all over my lawn burying nuts from the feeders, damn thought I'd found a squirrel proof feeder, just a very thin pole with a hook on top but he can even shin up that lol.

They are clever critters aren't they? Even more so when hunger sets in, LOL. I found a feeder that seems to work so far. It's a cylinder with small cutouts just big enough for a bird's then surrounded by a wire cage. They look much cuter in the parks.

Its the first one I've seen here for a while, last year we seemed to have a whole family living in our small wood and they'd bring the kids to teach them how to climb the feeder lol.
The feeder used to be quite near our pond which is quite large and 8ft deep in the middle always remember coming up the garden after walking our dog, must have disturbed the squirrel on the feeder and he jumped, or tried to, onto the fencing surrounding the pond and fell in !!!, I couldn't let the poor little thing drown so rushed to get the net but before I could get to him he'd got himself out and was running up a tree not happy at all making a right noise, telling me off I think lol.

LOL I don't think he was a happy fella. They are cute out in the parks and fields but I had a family move into my attic. They actually chewed through the roof and got in. It was hard to get rid of them. The also love to attack my sunflowers and dig up my tulip bulbs - rascals!

Oh no don't think I'd like them in the attic Bathgate bet that was awfull!!!!
We had mice once that was bad enough, we built our own house and they got into the cavities while we were building so they were there before we even moved in, the pest control man had to come three times to refill the poison gives me the willies thinking how many there must have been you could hear them in the walls, at the time we had no skirting boards on so they were getting in the house too, I still leave a tray of poison in the loft just in case but luckily no sign since.
Aaaah now bet that's were all my tulips disappeared to, we have two huge horse chestnuts and they're terrors for burying the conkers everywhere I spend ages pulling up the seedlings in the spring lol.

They are terrors for sure. One trick I learned to keep them out of your tulip bed is to empty your vacuum cleaner into your tulip bed, the scent of human and pet hair signals "predator" for them and they will run for the hills. If they get into your house, all bets are off. I had to call a professional to remove them, then cut down all trees growing too close to my house.
