Hyperactive squirrels and a woodpecker
We had a lovely lunchtime walk in Edinburgh Botanic Gardens today. The squirrels were hyperactive
It wasn't just this one jumping on Crafty Green Boyfriend's coat, there were another two climbing up other people! We fed them lots of peanuts, some of which they buried safely to eat another day!

the woodpecker was wandering through the branches, pecking away to find insects.

So funny!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable!!! The first photo made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI hope 2017 is a wonderful year for you Juliet, all the best to you. G
Wow that's amazing to see one climbing up a person! They are wintering well round here, they are all as fat as anything.
ReplyDeleteSomebody must have fed those squirrels too much Christmas candy. Gosh, they are cute little brushy tailed rodents though aren't they? I take lots of pics of the ones we have, but never have I seen one quite as wound up as yours are!!
ReplyDeleteWow, I've never seen a squirrel do that - great shot!
ReplyDeleteLove the woodpecker too.
Enjoy the remainder of 2016 and all good wishes for the coming New Year
All the best Jan
Wow! I throw them some peanuts, but they stay well clear of me!
ReplyDeletewow, I have never seen a squirrel in the real world :)
