It's a squirrels life

The squirrels have found us and it didn't take them long to figure out the feeder! They have to climb down, sit on the little ledge and then open the top of the box to access the seeds.


This little grey one comes every morning around 7am for breakfast. He's quite shy and if we're in the back yard he'll wait for us to go inside and then sprints down the fence to the feeder. He's wary and eats his seeds while sitting on the fence so he can keep a look out. He's up and down to the feeder every 30seconds, but he seems to like being able to see everything.

This fella comes in the afternoons and stays for about an hour - soon he will break the little sitting ledge. He doesn't seem to care what else is going on, as long as he has some seeds he's happy! He takes no precautions like the smaller grey one, and just hangs out gorging! :)

Some afternoon excerise maybe? A few pull ups to keep in shape?

And a drink afterwards. The pool is salt water so he would have been even thirster after his couple of sips but he doesn't seem to care.
