II-Bertha, 25th July at 15:00.wmv


There was a little injury on the skin close to the right eye. It seems to have healed, but yesterday and today (10th July) it looked not to be very well! Two weeks have gone since these two videos. Her right cheek looks to have swollen, little by little swollen. But she has visited every single day and she taken water and eaten sun flower seeds as much as she ever wants.. All in all, she looks good.


There is not much to do.. just follow her visiting at the feeder, and to keep the feeder clean, be cause of birds too.

some pics later


The better side of her face :D She looks just fine.

I am not sure at all who could this female be, with a bit dirty face.. Is she Mops? No. I have seen her, her fur is darker brown, and more red. Paula the Silk ear? No. The cheeks of Paula are more light, and her eyes are bigger. Anyway she looks familiar..



Image
I am not for 100% sure about who she is but I make a note: Star, known from the summer 2011

26th June
Paula the Silk ear:

A calm and clever female (at least three years old) seems to have self confidence.. or how to say, she does not make mess. Does not fear me as much as the others - but anyway, as a wild Red squirrel she does not trust in me. It's good!

I have finished the videos from the 27th July! Squirrel life goes on the Hill:

I have seen Silk ear sitting and eating and not getting nervous if someone likes to keep company. This time her company came and chased her away! Poor of her. She decided not to 'reply' but she climbed on the upper branch to wait for her turn.

..some unrest, 15:30

Image

Bertha enjoying the nuts..all alone, happy.

Image

Oh, no, Silk ear was trying to return!
