Red Squirrel

After work this evening we headed down to the Loch for a walk. The place is supposed to be a veritable hot bed of red squirrels but in the 8 or 9 years we have been walking there we have only ever seen one. Very far away!

While Mr Lif was busy picking up poop I heard a scuttle above me. Yup...a squirrel. The little devil was shooting up the very tall pines and was hiding well out of view. We stopped and snapped...then gave up.

As we were driving out Mr LIF stopped the car and looked back and here (we are pretty sure) was the same we devil stuffing his face in the bird feeder! He must have flipped the lid, jumped in and sat there up to his armpits in bird food, scoffing away!

Almost time for Masterchef. Things are hotting up
