I'm sitting at my dining table, facing our back balcony. I used to put nuts out for the squirrels who would come regularly and take them, until we went on holiday, and the squirrel got peeved and never came back (this is last year...).
I still put nuts out in the hope someone will come back - there's heaps around, but they run across the balconies across from us since they're closest to the big trees.
Well one just finally appeared on my balcony railing, found a nut, put it in his mouth and while he was checking it out, his little back feet were stamping up and down like he was running on the spot
It was so cute, I think he was super excited to find a nut
He found the next nut as well, but realised he couldn't shove both in his mouth (they're hazelnuts).
This is a new guy - he looks like a teenager, has a very shiny coat, I've seen him regularly for about a week now, and he seems less shy than the other squirrels. I am in love
