Simon's Blog - Bright Eyed & Bushy Tailed

Thankfully not all squirrels are as hard to spot as the albino one in Peter & Valerie's tree in Dargate.

Have a closer look.

In fact they don't seem to mind who sees them if there's food on the go.

And you’ve got love a photo of a squirrel proof bird feeder...

...that clearly doesn’t work, like the one in Sue & Terry Smith’s garden in Newington in Kent.

But then they are quite determined when it comes to getting food…

...as this photo from Ian Clark in Sholing proves.

But what do squirrels like to eat?

Well Kirstie Wilde lost a sunflower to a hungry one in Hastings.

And we know they like nut and Anne Dine in Brighton even has one that sneaks into her house for them and then sneaks out again!

But Geoff Jenkins in Sussex found one that likes to eat fresh strawberries from his neighbours garden.

Which is only fine is it's hygiene standards are as high as the one Jo and the team at Warren Park Primary School in Havant spotted.

Who knew they brushed their teeth after a meal too?
