3 for the price of 2..

While we were doing the change over on Saturday at Aspenwood I happened to glance out of the lounge window and was delighted to see a red squirrel running along the new fence from the forest to the nut feeders. Earlier I had put some peanuts out on the flat fence top to make life easier for them. As I watched fascinated - lo and behold - along came another and they both happily munched away quite near each other.
I could not contain myself when a third raced along the fence to the bird seed on the fence so now there were three within the space of a metre. Their tails were blowing in the breeze and it has been quite unseasonally windy lately.
We have been following The Open at St.Andrews on TV and seen how extremely breezy it is there, even the players having a one hour break from any golf last Friday because of the 40mph winds.
We are very pleased that we had the flat platform design on the new fence as it certainly seems to attract the wildlife.
