Young Squirrels

For the past week we have had the delight of watching young Squirrels playing on our garage roof. 'Walnut' has been a regular visitor to our garden for teh past few winters this year however he unusually remained right into the spring. I assumed he and 'Peanut' had mated and gone to build a drey somewhere. I expected them to use the large thick conifer a few doors away but was surprised to see three young squirrels emerging from beneath the eaves of my next door neighbours bungalow.

Over the following few evenings they have played and explored tentativly. They seem quite large and I expect that they are pretty much independant now, which is a good think as my next door neighbour has now sealed the gap under the eaves.
