Manu,same here..I was frozen half the day until O.H lit the fire in the chimney.
It seems as though Automn has suddenly arrived.

Olga,your garden looks very beautiful in the late afternoon light.
Welcome Charley...its nice to know you are still living on Squirrel Hill.

[Olga]

Macdoum, I saw Charley at the feeder for one week ago, it was an early morning. There happened to be no seeds for the moment.. Great tits and other are so hungry when they wake up..

Today there was Mops again:

Great to see them back and looking so well!

Yes, Mops is darker and more reddish than some other squirrels:

I see Mops still have blueberries on the menu

[Manu]

Mops is a great entertainer .
Thanks for this nice video's and pictures

[Yoko]

THANK OLGA !
Oh! Mops is cute, beautiful little squirrel, you have the chance to see it. He likes to eat good seeds and berries! Here in France, they are rare and very wild. In Canada, there are thousands of them in parks and gardens, they are rather gray, they are not fearful.
Here is a picture of a squirrel that came to eat in my garden in Montreal (Qc, Canada)

Oh, thank you for sharing the photo of a Canadian squirrel! Your squirrel looks great! Beautiful! She/he (?) looks really good and handsome. It is very nice and interesting to see 'in live' how other squirrels look like there far abroad in the wide world.

[Olga]

Some days are gone, and no squirrels to see..

But today, just to guess who it was. She looks so familiar

Is there only one squirrel left on Squirrel hill..

I can't believe. Of course Mops made me happy to appear again today.


I believe she would like to see my face, or what there is behind the curtain. But I didn't move the curtain. Better that they don't become tame at all here in country side. It is almost too much that some squirrels are tame enough to come in a garden where there are dogs and humans to see every day and no-one knows the moment.

[Olga]

Like always, she took some water before she left.

Mops:
She looked exactly the same as on the third September, even the weather was almost the same, just there are some more yellow leaves on birches.

Very nice pictures, and lucky Nappy which live in such a great place..
Thank you for letting us have a look, Olga

(Right now I am watching a nature program on tv, about the wild animals/birdlife in the finnish forests. It's a series about the nordic wilderness, and each episode is about a nordic country..)

You live in a very beautiful place, Olga!
