I've got one that seems to think my front garden is a banging hiding place for his wares.

I not so secretly really enjoy watching him.

I just wanna be like snow white and have lots of animal buddies. *sigh*

Pretty sweet to watch when they pat the ground down after burying the nuts

It's the first time I've ever seen one do it in real life and not on a cartoon

We used to live in a squirrel heavy area, and the Mrs got quite friendly with a few and hand fed them.

Oh a woman after my own heart. I have a couple I occasionally leave some seed and nuts for in my front lawn (just occasionally as they’d lose their instinct to gather things if feed too often) and I love watching them play and bury things

They are amazing at getting into places and solving puzzles. I remember feeding the ones in Boscombe which were so tame and cheeky.

He's only coming as close as the front step. I have a massive tree at the end of my front garden and next door have a fern near their front door.

I've heard plenty of people in our street who've had them in their lofts.

I wanna build him his own little house. I won't, but I want to!

My parents have one that visits regularly.

If they haven’t left nuts out for him he bangs on the window!

I've got a squirrel gang that charge about the garden and big trees. someone gives them monkey nuts which they bury and stash in every nook and cranny.

they are super fun tho do damage some of my nice plants. had a couple of white ones turn up but the gang seem to have chased them away.

when i was a park-keeper i had monkey nuts to feed the local squirrels, one of which got so tame he'd come in my hut and climb up my leg to sit on the desk eating, also could get him to sit on my shoulder like a parrot which was cool

We have only red squirrels here on the Isle of Wight. We've caught loads of the those pesky grey one trying to sneak over here in small boats, but no chance.

This is one of my favourite things to go, go and feed the squirrels in the park. They take the nuts right out of your hand! Gives me so much joy.

The really smart ones don’t go looking for their own nuts, they just watch the other squirrels bury them, then dig them up and bury them elsewhere. Crafty feckers

Have you ever seen blackbirds jumping up and down in your garden, they are trying to imitate rain,worms come to the surface when it's raining, very clever

BSE

Found a dead one in my sofa last night. How it got there and why it decided to eat the foam that killed it were some of the things I wondered as I threw it in the bin.

Followed by fuck, that isn't even my sofa.

Op, put out a saucer of water. You'd be surprised how many animals will use it on a regular basis.

"In my last home I used to watch them do it and then see a woodpecker fly down and take the stash, woodpecker must have been in tree watching lol"

It’s almost the other way round at mine. Woodpecker on the bird feeder and the squirrel rocks up- then it’s like some sort of mafioso turf war for 10 minutes….usually ending up with a victorious squirrel hanging upside down to feast on the nuts while the woodpecker shouts abuse from the trees.

I’m just waiting for the Magpies to get involved and turn up with shotguns

I used to sit outside with my daughter at the top of our garden and hand feed them. They love monkey nuts so we sat with a tray on our lap with lots of nuts on it and eventually they came down to eat them. Takes patience but so worth it.
