This naughty little fellow has been digging in our front lawn burying conkers! Just as we were leaving our home yesterday, Dh stopped me to look and there was the squirrel digging away! Do hope the conker doesn't grow, I don't really fancy a Horse Chestnut tree in my front garden. We've only ever seen him before in our the back, skipping along our back fence.
It seems, it is going in under the over hang of the roof, so probably into the roof space. #10 is being refurbished so the builder isn't there all the time. I know squirrels can be real pests, because a friend of mine had them take over her loft, and had to hire a marks man to shoot them!
I think our neighbour is getting in touch with the builder to inform him. Sad to think what I think is a cute little fellow, is a very big pest. We always check our roof over hang and have the gutters and the over hand cleaned regularly.

Oh my here what the squirrels do. I will find oak trees and walnut trees and hickory trees growing in my flower pots next spring when I get ready to plant my annuals. These little guys bury nuts everywhere.
Those pesky critters can do a lot of damage. I love seeing them in their natural environment though.
He is so cute! We have issues with cute squirrels and chipmunks in our yard too.
I have a soft spot for squirrels, they used to be pretty chilled and I could get up close when we lived in Wales. Mostly because they ate so much of the chickens food and were pretty chubby!
I know not everyone likes squirrels ... and yes they can be a bit of a nuisance ... but I do enjoy watching them in the garden.
All the best Jan
They are cue but sure can do a lot of damage!!
