Cyril the squirrel

Looking out of the lounge window at Aspenwood on Saturday morning we saw this young squirrel run along the feeding platform from the forest. He must have been fairly young as his coat was a bit tatty in places and not all the same colour, but he did have amazing ear tufts and a beautiful bushy tail.He was most interested in the new peanut granules placed on the ledge and stayed for a long while happily munching away.

He then took a long drink at the bird bath as it was a lovely warm day and then scampered for some more food at the small suet ball feeder before disappearing back down the purple buddleia bush and into Farigaig Forest for a well earned rest after all that food and drink. We decided to call him Cyril the squirrel.
