Squirrels
Xref: kermit uk.rec.gardening:168468
"bigboard" wrote in message - AFAIK, they sort of hibernate! And only if it gets very cold, otherwise they're up and about most of the winter. But walking around Holland Park in London last winter in the REALLY hard, cold days there were loads of squirrels following me about. During the summer they were far less brazen (maybe because more ppl & kids are there to terrorise them!). As for why they bury their nuts in your garden rather than the park, I would guess that the park is mostly grassland and there are no obvious landmarks for reference points as to where they left there nuts. You might be on to something there - perhaps I'll change the garden around every week to really **** them off so they can't find anything!! My solution would be to leave them alone, but if they were really causing a nuisance, to shoot them. I realise this may not be desirable for you or practical! Well, firstly, I've only ever seen one once and there are holes all over my garden. Secondly I don't have a gun. Thirdly, pests as they might be, I really don't want to execute them - just repulse them. Perhaps pictures of Jade from BB last year with her "kebab" on show would do the trick. There again, the neighbours might burn the house down while I'm at work ...! a |
