I know lots of people consider grey squirrels to be pests but I love them. I rarely see any in my garden, so I was surprised a couple of days ago, hearing a clattering and thumping sound, to find a squirrel in the garden. The noise was presumably from it hurling itself from the roof onto the greenhouse roof and from there via a small table to my doorstep. The table is Monty's favourite place to sit and watch the birds, it's a bit rickety so rattles when he jumps up. I'm just waiting for it to collapse one day, along with the greenhouse - Monty likes to snooze on the roof!
Today the squirrel was back, with a friend, to investigate the bird table. There wasn't much food up there and they didn't seem interested in the sultanas that the birds relish, so they didn't stay long.

They are fun to watch and are so clever no matter how difficult you make it for them to get at nuts etc. We also have a white one who has been around for quite a long time now. Not so good for your bulbs tho - they munch the leaves as soon as they appear!!
the squirrels are so cute. great photographs
