All joking aside. I’ve just been for a walk by my house. Signs up saying “Red squirrels!” but only saw greys. I wonder how long ago that sign was put up…. Sad. Very sad.
Saw a deer though (we stared at one another for two seconds before it fled) which was nice.
Much unfamiliar meat tastes like chicken, apparently. Frogs legs do. Snake, I've been told. Rabbit gamey . I know. Pigeon gamey Tree rat, I've never tasted.
What if squirrels didn't have bushy tails? What if they had baldy tails like other rats? Would you encourage them to visit your garden? I wonder if sparrows didn't have wings would I be happy to see them in my garden?
> Flapjacks made with butter, golden syrup and chocolate chips, not so much.
No chocolate on the ones I feed them. They have nuts and fruit bits in them. Nuts, dried fruit, oats, syrup, butter, sometimes a yogurt topping. Like breakfast bars. Very healthy and well balanced.

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
