Peek a Boo

The young squirrel was back. I have many feeders, for different feed, and when I refill them I rarely put them back where they were (it keeps the wildlife in their toes).

I kept seeing movement in the Magnolia and at first, from the fleeting glimpses of ‘something’ in the tree thought it was a rat. It was only when he fell out and ran back up did I realise it was the youngster. He was darting out of the foliage, grabbing a seed and ducking back into the leaves.

Quite comical.

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.
Fun to watch!

Great capture, he certainly looks like a rat, you're right.

We have several young squirrels chattering every day around here. They use our fence as the local racetrack and chase each other constantly. They go to great lengths to try to get seed out of our squirrel proof feeder, so fun to watch. This fellow’s nose looks ratty!

You are stimulating their brains. We have a wildlife rescue center a few miles from here and they are always trying to challenge the animals.

Fun to watch - they should put squirrel feeders outside all the old peoples' homes!

Squirrels are quite clever, I’m sure it didn’t take him long to figure out where stuff is! I thought he was very rat like in this shot!
