18th May

in the morning

[Olga]

The first guest oh 18th May. Why was he/she like hiding, getting 'smaller' behind the feeder that way..

[Olga]

continues..

Now I understood. At same moment there was an other squirrel on the lawn, this one has perhaps found a little nut store ...Without any hurry, there was it sitting in all peace. It would not have seen the other one behind the feeder..

[Olga]

18th May contunues

In the afternoon

A story about a squirrel who fell a nut..

Hero of the story:

[Olga]

A squirrel who lost his nut

There was a squirrel sitting on the feeder in the afternoon sunshine. He jammed one nut after other.



- Better to eat now that there is calm here..ah, I like nuts so much..


but then..

[Olga]

- What, where is my nut?



- I had it in my paws.. oh, dear..what's going on here?How could I loose my nut.



- Oh, I see it's there down! Now I understand...



end of the story.

[macdoum]

every day we have a new story.. I wish I could show these to my grandchildren.

[Olga]

Hi, Carmel

Silk ear is allready there, in the early morning of 20th May

What she did yesterday is an other story..



PS: I forgot to tell yesterday that I made a small test before the Grayish squirrel came: Squirrels had been away almost all the day. The feeder was empty. In the late afternoon I put some nuts on the feeder. Let's see how soon they notice that. It took only ten minutes and the squirrel was there!

[Olga]

Yesterday the 19th the small Suirrel behaved a bit surprising way. 20 or so photos will tell the story, in six posts .. The happening begun at 10:33..

At 10:33

post 2/6

Silk ear was not that interested on nuts this time, but on something else..Both of my dogs were in the yard, the older was sleeping under my window, he loves to have a rest there, he has a self made little pit there...
