An interesting thing about the raiding of the hazelnuts which I forgot
to mention before is that I often pickup a nut believing it to be OK,
only to find that if you squeeze it there is a neat crack along the
midway mark and the contents have disappeared. I'm wondering how a jay,
say, could so neatly and only partially crack the nut open, and
completely and cleanly remove the contents.

I dug up some potatoes the other day and found two walnuts, still in
shells, albeit a bit under ripe. Funny thing ... there's no sign of a
walnut tree in the neighbouring gardens.

I assume squirrels buried them?
