Squirrel

In the absence of much gardening to blog about I thought I'd post a picture of the young squirrel whose stealing from our bird feeder.


She Who Does Not Dig has named him Samson, and so Samson it is. We could try to drive him away to leave the seeds for the birds, but they seem utterly uninterested in them. Maybe the thousands of slugs that are out and about in this wet weather mean they're turning their noses up at our sunflower seeds. We did see a pair of bluetits feeding at it one day, but they were much more excited by the slugs on the fence than the seeds, so it looks like it's just Samson we're feeding until winter comes around.
