Nutkins feathers are ruffled, Wednesday 26th July 2017
July and a wet day, still a few jobs to do including checking the 44 bird nest boxes purchased from CJ Wildlife for a nest box project at Morfa Berwig LNR, the access to ring the pulli is a snug fit on some so a bit of sanding will be needed, plenty of time for that job as they are not going out until the end of autumn.
The next thing there's a bit of scratching and banging as the squirrel jumps over Simeon's shoulder, does a somersault and scampers off into the forest, leaving us somewhat amused!!
The Barn Owl box which last year had Honey Bees in residence needed a visit to check for occupancy, no owls but a squatter in the form of a Grey Squirrel had moved in, you had to be there to appreciate the funny side of events which went a bit like this:
Simeon went up the ladder to have a look for occupants, as there were no signs of Barn Owls he opened the access door,
"is that a squirrel nest" I asked,
"yes", came the reply,
"anyone in"
"yes its looking at me...."
