New squirrels, noisy blackbirds and a charming robin.

The garden has become home to more new squirrels. There are at least 3 of them. As usual there is one that comes to visit the most, who is excitable, frisky and downright nosy.

I put some raisins out for the blackbirds, the young squirrel obviously did not know what they were. He crept up on them, in the usual squirrel way. They walk sideways tail up and very slowly.

Creeping up on the raisins.

As he got closer he stretched as far as he could and sniffed, just to make sure they were safe.

The squirrel decided that the raisins were not going to hurt him, grabbed one in his mouth and ran to the wall to eat it.

Next he had a look at the nutbox. He didn't know how to open it. 

He looked from above,

Put his nose into the gap in the back,

He could smell the nuts, he could see the nuts, but still could not get the nuts.

He thought very hard about how to get the nuts.

Then it came to him in a flash.

 He lifted the front of the box, up went the lid, there were the nuts.

Squirrel was happy now. He knew how to get to the nuts!

The sparrows are sunbathing now instead of taking showers,

Mrs Blackbird is making a noise looking for Junior, however he is away doing his own thing,

Mr Blackbird is on the lookout too with no more luck.

One of the woodpeckers is calling in again,

So are the greenfinches,

and the robin is being his usual charming self.

Until the next time...
