Guilty...

..is what I'm beginning to feel: poor squirrels exerting all that effort - for no reward!

Where are all the BIRDS?!

[👑 AnaZad]

Hazel, this is hilarious. Squirrels are amazing. Fantastic capture.

@anazad511

Ana, thank you. (They are now coming in PAIRS!)

[linda]

don't feel guilty, these are the reason our beloved red's are greatly reduced in number

[Gena Pegg]

Awwww...he is certainly determined!

[Loopy-Lou]

Fabulous fun capture and wonderful editing.

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Lovely capture

[Molly]

Great action shot. Perhaps the birds have lots of berries at this time of year?

[Richard Hickey]

Incredible picture.

[tony gig]

Great shot and a Fav Hazel

[Penelope Ann]

Well done on foiling the squirrel they can be pests.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Yes but they would have a very good try Hazel, lovely capture. I'm not going to connect HAZEL and NUTS together.

[wendy frost]

Perhaps you could get a squirrel feeder to keep it and its friends happy and to provide plenty of great squirrel shots.

[Hazel]

@ladymagpie

Heather, feel free - we have hazelnut trees down by the stream and a contorted hazel in a pot outside the front door!!!

[Hazel]

@wendyfrost

Do you know, Wendy, I've never heard of a squirrel feeder - and I'm not sure that Ray would be too happy with the idea of feeding them!!!

[*lynn]

wonderful shot! fav

[Newbank Lass]

Wonderful capture. My dad has all manner of squirrel deterrents!

[Jules Sparrow]

Hazel this is an amazing capture !!

[Sian B]

Wow amazing capture!

[Pat Knowles]

Tremendous agility.....our birds wait until the squirrels have left & then have their fill.

[Joyce]

Great capture of a determined squirrel. They are so intelligent and agile.

[michael]

They are so resourceful! You have to admire them.

[Graham Thresher]

Super shot. Fav

[mittens (Marilyn)]

LOL This gave me a smile. Great capture of the cute pesky squirrel.

[wendy frost]

@quietpurplehaze I bought my mum and dad a squirrel feeder it had a see through flap and the squirrels had to figure out how to open it to get the nuts out it gave mum and dad much enjoyment watching their antics.

[Babs]

He is definitely determined. Maybe he will come back with an axe.

[Kerri Michaels]

cool!! fav!!

[Lin]

So very cute!

[Sam]

Very cute but ohhhh so naughty!

[Susan C Clow]

What an amazing capture you got of the squirrel reaching. He's hanging on tight with those back legs that is for sure.

[Tammy]

Awww...Poor little squirrel! Excellent capture - I love that you can see all 4 paws hanging on!

[Vicki Dixon]

I feel the same when our guy can't get into the food. but I have plenty for him in his own feeder. cute shot of his determination

[Kathleen Hickey]

Squirrels are single-minded about this. I've seen them slide down a slick cord to get to a feeder. I doubt they go hungry in your garden. Great capture of him in action!

[Hazel]

@wendyfrost

That sounds interesting - IF I can persuade Ray!

[Claire]

It will be interesting to see how they overcome this obstacle. Love the shot
