These two photos were taken quietly from the back door this morning: a parakeet and later a squirrel enjoying the seeds of the giant sunflower at the far end of the garden. It seemed that these two took it in turns to snack on the plant for most of the day and all sorts of acrobatics went on to get the seeds. We had no idea the seeds were such a delicacy!

Then again we remembered this picture from many moons ago, crazy stuff!And while we’re thinking of thieving wildlife, here’s a squirrel with a scone, from the days when we had apple trees as a fence. Luckily it wasn’t our scone.
