Seasonal critters

[R3XXY]

Saw this year's first squirrel while I was out on my favourite walk today, just thought it was worth a mention

Down here they've been active throughout the hard weather and heavy snow. It was delight to watch them scampering through powder-coated trees as the only critter that was on the move.

Cheers

You can't go out without seeing dozens of the things around here. They've already started biting off the trees buds.

reds or tree rats(grays), squirrels (grays) are active all year round, not sure about reds

I was out this afternoon for a walk down by my local river and saw two reds out. They were charging up and down trees, looking very wide awake and very fluffy.

Reds aren't usually active in the winter, they don't completely hibernate, but its pretty close. They only wake up very occasionally for food and a bit of fresh air (bit like me then )

seen a few greys myself, also heard reports of hedgehogs on the move plenty of birds about too!

Yep, me too
Haven't seen any Reds yet this year, but the greys are really active. Breeding too I reckon, watched the chase through the treetops recently, five of them following some aerial obstacle course

cheers,

Shot my first grey squizza of the season yesterday as he was trying to steal from the bird feeder. He didn't see that one coming

Now for a recipe for him...Probably just in a pitta with some plum relish. mmmm

Damn them greys to the casserole dish
