Squirrels, Magpies & Blackbirds...

Another new face has popped up in the garden, (well two really but I have no pictures of the other one).

This is a very greedy little squirrel so he should fit in very well.

One of the new faces.

The squirrel was on a food hunt. S/he had been round the nutboxes and the seeds but was still looking for something else. Then the squirrel spotted something. It did the usual sideways walk with the tail to one side over to the place it had seen something.

There it found some left over cake, (a very unusual happening in our house)

A very unsure squirrel.

It didn't take the squirrel long to decide it was food and it was safe to eat it.

The left over cake was a hit.

The squirrel had his/her fill and looked round for something else.

What had s/he found now?

Squirrel found a filbert.

The squirrel found a filbert, I don't think s/he really knew what it was but s/he gave it a try anyway.

Then the squirrel smelt something. His/her nose went up in the air what could that smell be?

Squirrel could smell something delicious. 

The squirrel had to find it, so s/he jumped up the leg of the crossbar and there it was!

Peanut Butter

The squirrel clung to the post there was no way that peanut butter was going to be shared.

Squirrel fiesta. 

Squirrel was not moving until that hole was licked clean.

Drunk on Peanut Butter.

Of course if somebody over indulges they have to pay the price! Squirrel ate so much peanut butter s/he had to hold him/herself up on the crossbar. S/he looked quite green around the gills.
The squirrel never even noticed the young magpie pinching the cake while it had the chance.

There is a female Blackbird still chasing round the garden collecting food for one of her young. The other day she had a beak full of worms but still managed to call out.

I have been a bit adventurous this week, I have almost finished a pair of trousers I am making for myself. I altered on of my hippie type shirts to fit Lynsey so she could go out in it last night and I am already working out a pattern for a top for myself or maybe a skirt.
Tonight I will try out the new cooker, I am baking bread, insomnia is not a bad thing when baking as electricity is cheaper during the night.

Until the next time...
