The pumpkin has been outside for absolutely ages and the squirrels haven't really been near it - well not when I've been about anyway! This little fellow decided to have a peek this morning. I am hoping that he gives me a few opportunities to get some shots of him although this was taken through the rather grimy conservatory window.
I got Steve to put the new squirrel feeder up on the fence for me and filled it up with nuts but so far the squirrels haven't discovered it and I noticed a great tit trying to work out how he could get some nuts. I am about to go out and prop the lid open so that they get the idea (the squirrels I mean) of how to go about getting the nuts out.
@beryl Thanks @pamknowler Thanks and yes he certainly is black - we have 2 of them visiting our garden each day together with 3 greys! Steve has just put up the squirrel feeder and I have now been to prop open the lid so that they get the idea of how to get the nuts out because they've had a look but not worked it out yet!
I still have my pumpkin outside but there haven't been any of our squirrels at it yet.....yours looks riper than mine ....didn't know you could get proper squirrel feeders, our do pretty well on the bird feeders!
