You have to admire the determination of this one grey squirrel, trying to get its breakie early one morning. It gets on to the feeding station, then slips off and falls off, only to return and try again.

Yes they have learned, and now manage to stay stock still on the lampshade, little devils!
They've even learned how to wrap one leg around the main standing pole!
Some more squirrel antics, quickly snapped this morning from the kitchen window. Apologies for the poor quality, the light was too dull for a fast shutter speed, typically 1/100-1/125 sec....
Leaping over to the feeding station
Having a good feed on sunflower seeds....
Oooops, I slipped!
But I'm still hanging on....
Just!
I think I'm gonna fall!
I'm going!
Weeeeeeeeeee
Thud.
Have you ever noticed, squirrels are like cats, they always land on their feet!
