Feeding squirrels
Oct. 11th, 2024 09:57 pmLate in 2022 I got a large net of walnuts (about the volume of 5kg of potatos) from my stepfather. Those were Northern German walnuts, the climate isn't too kind to them, so they are really small.
I stored them on the balcony, ate about 1/3 of them, and then forgot about the bag, as one forgets about things one sees every day that do not change.
This summer the nuts got discovered by a gang of squirrels. One furry red, one skinny red, and one skinny black. I had a lot of opportunity to watch them trying to get into the bag, and after they managed (the skinny red took longest), getting out the nuts, eating a few, hiding some in my balcony plants and carrying off the rest.
Today I found the bag empty. So maybe I should get a fresh bag for next year's squirrel visits... I hope the little guys have a nice winter!
