What big ears I've got !

The native red squirrels are often spotted on the feeding platform outside Aspenwood cottage happily munching on the peanuts and sunflower hearts. At this time of year they grow splendid ear tufts and their tails become bushier. We saw a couple of adults chasing each other around a tree trunk with a bit of spitting thrown in, no doubt claiming their territory and protecting their partners. We look forward to seeing the offspring soon as they are great fun to watch.
