Nuts, acorns and berries are the main foods of choice for grey squirrels. These will be collected in autumn and buried underground, ready to be eaten in winter when food is scarce. Other food taken includes seeds, flowers, buds, shoots, pine cones and occasionally bird eggs.

To prevent their food stashes from being stolen, grey squirrels have been observed pretending to bury nuts in a bid to fool other squirrels that may be watching.

My thanks to anyone who views, faves or comments on any of my photos. It is much appreciated.

Quite happy feeding on the hawthorn berries.

The grey squirrel was introduced into the UK in the 1800’s. While not popular with everyone, it does provide an easy encounter with wildlife for many people.
