Wildlife visitors and family!

The last photo,s just the best! Makes me smile.....

The squirrel is black....I wonder why?

Chiara is a little beauty Sheila , bubbles always fascinate don't they , I still like them !! the black squirrel is interesting is it a regular visitor ?

Ooh! Black squirrels look quite big!

Sheila I wrote a blog about 'black being the new grey' not so long ago with some info from the BBC on it. Do take a look, they were asking for people to let them know of sightings of the black squirrel so they can see where they are breeding etc. They reckon we have 25.000 approx. in this country now.
Chiara is a poppet by the way.

Thank you Pam :), and thanks Amy, yes there are black squirrels and greys in the garden every day. Karen, they are the same size as greys!

Thanks Gill - yes, I remember the website, but that's an amazing number! I'll find your blog . . .

Hi Sheila..
Chiara looks so cute :o)

Your blurry photo of the black squirrel is how the whole of GoY can look to me when my eyes are tired !

Nice to have the visit from the duck.

Thanks Terra - wish she wasn't in Australia, lol!

Sorry you get tired eyes . . . too much GoY?!

really weird seeing black squirrel nice photo capture - love the duck picture and lovely picture of your grand daughter :)))))))))

What a wee cutie Chiara is Sheilabub - looks very happy chasing the bubbles :)
Never knew there was such a thing as a black squirrel - thank you for enlighting me!

Well, thanks for sharing ... I didnt know black squirrels even existed.

Thank you Paul and Scottish and Dawnsaunt!!! We learn something new every day . . .

lovely sheila especially the grandaughter, she is extra cute :o))

Tis true.

great blog SB, has all the elements ! wonderful photo of your granddaughter. Have to say though 'Gramps' with the duck is a winner LOL !!

Amazing, I've never heard of black squirrels here.

Lovely black squirrel! Brought to mind a lane in Essex we used to like driving down in case we saw 'Blackie' - one of the wild rabbits who - obviously - was black. While you're on holiday in this region you may see one of the Spanish squirrels - they're a lovely dark red/black mix with tufty ears like the British reds. :o)

What great garden visitor's to have Sheilabub, and your granddaughter is lovely:-))

Many thanks San, Bampy (bless), Sev, Nariz (like the sound of the Spanish squirrel!), and Mavis. :)))

That is a first... to see a black one, we saw some very dark brown ones last year in France, they certainly were not red, very odd, delightful pics of granddaughter and OH with duck!!

Thanks Angela (there's obviously quite a variety of squirrels in this world)!!

So it seems!!
