    Saturday Fun

    Oooh... so much choice

    AAP I was hoping to show you a picture from the Bash, but they need a bit of work and I'm extremely tired, so thought I'd bore you with another Red Squirrel picture!:-O Those who asked - yes, they're doing fairly well up here still. Where I am I rarely ever see a grey one, though I know they...

    The big stretch

    AAP The Red Squirrels love the feeders in the forest too. I found it really difficult to get sharp pictures of them though, whether it was because they were constantly on the move, or the camera failing to lock on due to all the fluffy fur, I don't know. Maybe we'll get there tomorrow on the...

    Learning the ropes

    AAP Looks like he's learnt how to chase the blue and coal tits of this feeder. For those who asked before, there are two different types of feeder here, one with the nuts and behind is a basket. They are not squirrel proof - there's no greys (or weren't) in the area and Red Squirrels thrive...

    Balanced

    AAP Away in the middle of a forest, in the middle of Angus is a hidden hide belonging to the Angus Bird Club. It's tiny and consists mostly of tarpaulin stretched around a couple of trees. Outside are a lot of feeders which attract loads of birds, so the next few pictures are likely to be from...
