Bushy-tailed rat

I know they are in the pigeon/rat class of wildlife, but I don't see much point in chasing this character off the bird food as there is plenty of time when I'm out - and unable to chase - for the peanuts to be raided.*  The majority of the action I see is from small birds so I can't begrudge the squirrel a few morsels.

Bit of a day...idiot at work and idiot on the road.  After a previous bad experience I had resolved not to use my two fingers again, but it was something of a reflex gesture today.  If only the work idiot was so easily dealt with.


*Being a rat owner, I find the 'vermin' type cute and would have no objection to them either.
