Daylight robbery
The bane of my life, one of the grey squirrels which constantly attacks the bird feeders and is nothing really other than a rat with a fluffy tail, provided a new mini drama today. We recently spotted a house mouse in the garden, too close to the back door for our comfort, so we set a humane trap ( the sort that flicks down a shutter but has air holes so the mouse can be re-homed a little further away from the house).
This morning I heard a clatter, looked out of the window and there was the squirrel thief, bashing the trap ( it was empty of all but seed as we had only just checked it a few minutes previously). It had sprung the flap but the seed was still inside and it was determined to take it.
At this point it looked as though it was about to disappear over the wall but then .........
