Vicky’s photograph of Thornton and his mate tells a better story than I could in Wednesdays Diary.
Vicky’s boyfriend David made the first part of the Squirrels obstacle course today. It is a very easy obstacle, being just a primitive bridge of thin wood that allows it to have a bit of give so that it bounces as the squirrel crosses it. The Squirrels will have to get use to the new post and Squirrel guard that will stop the Squirrel from climbing the post that the Squirrel feeder is on. You can never tell just how long the Squirrels will accept it. When they do, they will climb the original post that the feeder was on and they will hopefully see it on the new post and cross the bridge to get to it. The original post without a guard always needs to be the first in the course. Once the Squirrel have crossed the bridge we will put another obstacle for them to conquer. After two or three obstacle the Squirrel will start to realise that there is always food at the end and they will find it. Remember that this Squirrel obstacle course is at its very beginning. The Squirrels will start to use it.
