guess who ate the fatballs

The birds have mostly ignored our new bird feeder. Then we noticed the fatballs were suddenly disappearing.

Squirrels are not stupid.

It's raining cats and dogs here this morning. Ray has just gone out with Jinks. Oh, he's just come back in again as Jinks refused to walk. Can't say I blame him!

[Denise]

Squirrels are so clever. They seem to be able to find the bird's food. Cute shot here Hazel.

[wendy frost]

There are still not many birds in my garden there must be a lot of berries around still. A lovely capture of your clever squirrel .

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great shot Hazel - he looks as he has found his heaven !! The squirrel who visits my garden seems much wilder and I only ever see him scampering across the top of the wooden fence ! No rain at the moment here but a dull damp day !

[Jules Sparrow]

Oh this little chap is so cute, what a fabulous shot ...you certainly captured the moment ! He looks so guilty!

[Hazel]

@beryl

Ray just tried to take Jinks out but was back in 2 mins as he refused to walk in the pouring rain.

[Pete]

It's a horrible day today here, too. Our regular squirrel visitors are sitting by the feeder trying to get shelter. Nice shot

[Sam]

Hazel, what is a fat ball?

[Ivan]

Nice squirrel.

[Kane Arlow]

It seems that Jinks is as clever as the squirrels.

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

[Faye Turner]

Such a cute capture!

[Lesley]

Ha ha!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

What a cute and fun capture. Love it.

[Emilie Cartoun]

So cute! I could just hug him.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

It was Me - Oh you mean the sneaky squirrel, love watching them and they can be so crafty. Super capture of this well balanced one.

[Hazel]

@gigiflower

Sam, in my pic just above the squirrel's head you can just see a fat ball. For what they are made of see: http://shopping.rspb.org.uk/suet-balls-bumper-box-of-150.html

[Molly]

Well captured, and I really like your framing. The squirrel looks very pleased with itself!

[Hazel]

@dolphin

Molly, thanks. These frames are on a program called FastStone - some are a bit way out but I've found a few which I use regularly.

[Penelope Ann]

From fat balls to fat squirrel

[Nicole]

Beautiful capture! some dogs just don't like to walk in the rain, our previous one was the same!

[Graham Thresher]

Love this shot and processing.

[Sarah Munnings]

Aren't they just so cheeky!!

[Margaret Brown]

Great capture Hazel

[Gena Pegg]

What a great capture!! Love this .. and his pose is so great! fav

[Pat Knowles]

All the squirrels seem to be eating all the bird food all of a sudden....we don't see them for ages then there they are.......eating for the winter perhaps! Gorgeous day here Hazel!

[Rosie Kind]

fabulous shot Hazel - Fav. Our squirrels are doing just the same!

[Susan C Clow]

what a wonderful shot of the squirrels.

[Linda]

Haha, not too difficult to guess ... nice capture.

[Sandy]

This is an amazing shot. What is a fat ball made of?

[Janiskay]

I think the same guys going to end up costing you a fortune Hazel! Wonderful capture!

[Kathy]

I know, I have three guesses as to who ate the fat balls and the first two don't count! LOL LOL What a cute shot and I just love how the squirrels can get in so many positions to get to what they want!! Love this! FAV!

[mervyn hobbs]

That is so good.

[Hazel]

[alia_801]

Awww! Lovely capture. I like his balancing skills too!

[Babs]

Great shot Hazel. This looks like one happy squirrel.

[Molly]

@quietpurplehaze Thanks, Hazel: it looks interesting software - may download it and experiment!

[Hazel]

@dolphin

I find that I like some bits from FastStone and other bits from Picasa 3 - shame I can't combine them.

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of the Squirrel. Love you framing/processing. Fav.

[Claire]

Fabulous shot, I would like a squirrel in the garden, might shake Tito up a bit!

[Sandy]

@quietpurplehaze Hmm, if I were a squirrel I'd probably go after those too. Sounds like quite a delicacy.
