Youve been busted!

Todays thursday challenge is New Years resolution!
Mine is that I hope to capture more wildlife piks from my own garden and surrounding fields, as there is so much going on, on my own doorstep!

Starting with this little fella, who has destroyed 5 metal peanut feeders so far, I didnt realise however, he was undoing the wire to release all the peanuts on the floor. I caught him in the act!

Others with New Years resolutions are
Here.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3
1/50s f/4.9 at 46.0mm iso400 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

It looks like he has swallowed the feeder! Great capture Carole and good luck with the battle of wits! :-)

I know the feeling - they are quite creative at getting at the food I've had some completely take apart one of my feeders which had solar panels and little lights and all... I found it in pieces...

I remember a documentary showing just how agile & cunning they are...like our Possums, they wont be beaten.
J. Scott Coile03-Jan-2008 16:20
No such thing as a squirrel proof feeder ;-)

I recognize him.
He used to be a stunt-squirrel in Hollywood!
Bill Warren03-Jan-2008 14:06
We solved this with a fancy electric feeder that spins the squirrels off--quite funny to see.
