A Squirrel Keeps Visiting Me
Recently, I have had a squirrel that comes back almost every day to scratch on the wool chair covers on the terrace. This is probably because it wants to break apart some wool to bring back to the nest. So funny to see that the squirrel does not give up and has come back for a whole week to break apart this chair cover.
I had some pictures taken when the squirrel was there.
Unfortunately for him/her, the wool is pretty strongly attached so the squirrel doesn't succeed in bringing any with him. One day I cut a little bit of wool off the cover and put it on the table outside so the squirrel can bring some with it. It does look like he/she took some from the table because it seems to me that some of the wool is lost.
I did also put some nuts outside for the squirrel to take. As of today, all the nuts are still there and I haven't seen the squirrel for about 4 days. Maybe it collected enough materials for the nest and doesn't need to come back to pick on the chair cover anymore.
A couple of shots of the squirrel leaving.
Don't forget to participate in my monthly weather game and submit your guess to win 10 HIVE here.
The game is open for your guesses until 17th December.
that little squirrel s so pretty, please help him, cut some wool for her/him surely he is using it to get heat in its nest.
If you keep feeding him he would keep coming again haha
Since the squirrel looks so good I think he is well fed. Unfortunately he hasn't, come back. Nuts are still on the table outside so I think the nest is done.
any update of the squirrel? didnt came back again? :(
Nope, still no squirrel...
What beautiful photos, that squirrel looks very curious haha.
Thanks, squirrel hardly noticed me because it was so busy with the chair cover lol.
They are real characters squirrels, we used to have more of them at our old house and they kept us amused in the winter months, as they routed around the garden fences.
Oh cool! Its always fun to watch squirrels roaming around in the area.
Thats like the cutest thing I have ever seen!!! (maybe I am biased when it is about squirrels)
...must be a pretty cosy nest now with some of the wool in it:)
I guess that its a nice nest yes. I bet the squirrel got some other stuff too for its nest.
