Seeing Double.


While having lunch yesterday we were pleased to see a red squirrel scamper down the  tree trunk near the window and launch itself onto the 'sunflower roundabout' feeder. The round tin lid attached to the feeder stops any debris falling down and also enables more birds, and squirrels, to enjoy feeding. As we watched another cheeky squirrel suddenly appeared and leapt from the tree trunk to join its sibling and they spun round together.They seemed very comfortable side by side so they must have been from the same family as they can be quite nasty with strangers. It made us laugh to see one squirrel leap off only to quickly reappear for another go at the tasty sunflower hearts.
