I guess everyone knows which little creature is causing mayhem in my garden.
...and stretch!
...now he's spotted the apple feeder...
...which gets the rough treatment and discarded after the apple has been removed.
...he even knows I'm watching...
Look!!... he's even smiling!!
I topped up the fat ball feeders and stayed in the garden watching for a while.
The House Sparrows were glad to be rid of the squirrel...... for now.
Blackbirds usually just fly up and grab what they can... this female must have been watching the sparrows...
...she went back to collecting grubs after a while.
This Woodpigeon must also have been watching the small birds acrobatics.
"I'm sure I could give it a try"
"If I just hold on tight...
...and gently lean forward"
"hey! look at me... there's nothing to it"
"I know... I will be back later on to finish them off"
I love this whole post, i laughed all thew way through the squirrel pics, so funny and i know he is a pest but waht a cutie and the photo's are great. my favorite is the Woodpigeon,enjoyed your whole post.
ReplyDeleteYour backyard is worth watching a lot more than TV although the Queen's Jubilee had great pomp and circumstance.
ReplyDeleteSquirrels can be so sneaky.

ReplyDeleteAndrew, I reckon 'your' Squirrel must have gone to the same finishing school as 'mine', they seem to be working from the same script!...lol
ReplyDeleteGreat post...[;o)

ReplyDeletehaha..those darn little mischievous squirrels! the one that's smiling...is thinking...'go ahead, snap my picture! wait! let me get a mouthful of this yummy apple first'
i love the pigeon...beautiful!
Great variety of birds you've got. Love those squirrel shots. Never would have thought they would eat apples. I guess they'll eat just about anything.
ReplyDeleteSandra from Madsnapper sent me the link to this post. She knew I would love it! I do love the entire post! The adorable squirrel is my favorite! If you get a chance please stop by and take a look at my Mama Mallard post and my Mama Squirrel posts. Hope you're having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteFunny Andrew, I think that the pigeon has got it so right.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog and it is great. I decided to follow you because of your photography, it is beautiful. I like how your blog has larger pictures and they are just so close up, great job and I look forward to following you and getting to "know" a fellow blogger . Great Blog!!=)
ReplyDeletehaha! These are awesome shots, Andrew! Squirrels are squirrels no matter where they are! The pigeon is beautiful! Really nice photos.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great set of pictures Andrew, I love squirrels, red or grey, it's just a shame the two aren't compatible. A hybrid wouldn't be a bad idea, I wonder whether any boffin's had a go ?
ReplyDeleteCanadian squirrels are completely fearless, they'll perform tricks for the camera.
