Cheeky is the right word. I only get occasional visits and fortunately it is not destructive. :squirrel:

They certainly are Willpar!
Also, they make us get inventive about how to protect hanging feeders. :D
I honestly don't know how Cheeky avoids getting his rather large wheels caught on a twig or something. :laugh:

I had two squirrels in the garden this afternoon. For once they weren't trying to get at the hanging feeders. Todays target was the rosehips of the Dog Rose which I have never noticed before.

Yes they are. The new arrival squirrel is a bit braver than the resident. I caught it raiding the feeders twice today but it only shifted back into the tree while the other always scarpered off out of the garden. My waved arms and threatening behaviour seem to have little effect on the newcomer.

They can be very brave JS, thankfully I only get one now and again, mainly in the winter, if I remember correctly.
