Cute or not!


Sunday was to say the very least extremely windy. It was windy and sunny all day with the wind only relenting in the evening. Not a very pleasant day at all.







Wind speeds Saturday into Sunday



It most certainly wasn't a day for gardening and I thought about some bird pictures and then suddenly noticed that our large feeder had run out of sunflower hearts. This is rather unusual as I try to avoid it running out completely. It was then I spotted the likely culprit.
Grey squirrel
Looking cute and furry in the magnolia tree it was more than likely that this grey squirrel had finished off the sunflower hearts. It's a rather rare visitor to our garden.

It was then that our neighbour's cat arrived on the scene to  scare off the squirrel and any birds that were around. 
Just a nuisance
This cat visits our garden on a much too regular basis It's quite a pest as far as the birds are concerned. I know a few places where in takes cover under bushes lying in wait for any unsuspecting birds. I think it knows the sound of my footsteps as it hastily departs our garden as soon as I approach.
