Tree rats I agree Ian. Feeding them chestnuts keeps them off bird food theft. The chestnuts are free pick-ups from my dailey walk in our local park. On the other hand I love the Red Squirrel sorry I did not have a photo to hand so AI this in Photoshop.

I’d never thought of scavenging for nuts while out walking to distract the pesky feeder robbers!
My thinking was more catching the squirrels and taking them for a country ride where the nuts are!
(Note: I believe it’s illegal to release grey squirrels into the wild, which is what you are technically doing by relocating)
We have 3 now in our garden and they continually stop the birds from visiting the feeders.
