The snow came back today!
The garden was covered in an hour or so, but it didn't stop the squirrels. There were two of them in the garden as the snow was falling, one taking nuts from the boxes , doing the usual snatch, grab and run. The other squirrel had found one of the new feeding sticks I had put out. It is a long stick of sunflower seeds and what looks like honey which I tied to the cross bar, there is another one which is a long suet stick also tied to the crossbar which I thought the blue tits might like or even the woodpecker.
Anyhow the squirrel sat on the crossbar in the snow eating the bits he kept pulling from the seed stick, then he would lean down to pull off more then do a tipple - over - tail round the crossbar back up to eat his paw full of seed. He must of been there more than an hour in the snow, before he finally decided he had either had his fill, he was too wet or cold then off he shot away along the wall to wherever it is he goes.

Squirrel in the snow
Just below squirrel you can see the new seed stick he has taken a liking to.
Until tomorrow...
