Default OT Red squirrel

We get a couple of red squirrels on the bird table fairly regularly.
Aren't they something, and prodigious time wasters when you're supposed
to be doing something else. Mind you, they haven't been around since
we've had the snow. Are they hibernating or have they decamped over to
you?


Red Squirrels, unlike Greys, do not hibernate.


But make sure they have something to eat.

The grey squirrels are, at present, in hibernation, but as it seems
to be another mild winter, hopefully most of them will die off, and
enable me to have a few of the walnuts I try to grow for myself!
