Nicking my nuts!!
Caught this squirrel indulging in a bit of scrumping, not apples but hazel nuts, and having the cheek to bury them in my lawn. :smile: :wink: There's been a bumper crop of hazel nuts this year so I can't begrudge it a few.

You can't be up to these little blighters. Trouble is they will forget where they have buried their nuts (so to speak) :biggrin: Your lawnmower will find them though :biggrin: :wink:

Thanks for the comments folks. :wavey: 3D is the way to go, but it is early days yet (for me anyway)

Ian the colour of the squirrel is more or less correct. There are reds a few miles away I wonder if there is any shenanigans going on between the two species? :smile: :wink:
