Squizzer

I can't remember if I have mentioned before, but we have a grey squirrel that lives in the tree at the back of our garden. You can plainly see his dray, now the leaves have fallen, and he regularly comes down for a feed on the nuts that we put out for him. Usually he shoots off before I can get the camera but I was fortunate to have it nearby and got a couple of shots in. He sits on the bracket, by the side of the shed, and then swings down, grabs a nut and swings back up, all in one swift loop. Some would argue about the feeding of grey squirrels but there are a couple of myths attached to them. Firstly, it has been proven that they did NOT account for the decline of red squirrels and, secondly, that they damage trees. True, they will strip the bark from a tree when they are hungry, so my answer is to feed them. So far I cannot see any damage to the Sycamore which proves my point. Sorry the photos are blurry, but he's a quick mover.
