looks like they have moved on as the last two outing not seen any on the feeders, only ones shot have been in the trees
as placed small stones on the feeder lid to see if they had been opened to get the nuts, stones still in place.
so it ended up walking through the woods to find them.
I have 3 wood squirrel feeders sited and two mesh feeders as the birds tend to attract the squirrels

yeah i'm keeping ok mate ta, how you doin ?
i'm getting around a few shoots i kept on (them without a big walk)
picked a new easy perm up in june, stables with a few rabbits, and still getting an odd rat by the boats.
the weathers been crap, so my £10 single barrel 12 gauge wet weather biakal has had plenty of outings these last couple of months. i dont mind getting the biakal wet, as it doesnt need re zeroing after i strip it and clean it

my total now stands at 185 greys ,looks like I have cleaned a lot of them out from the feeders, last couple outings had one or two shooting out of the trees.
from march this year have not done a lot of time on the farm,
I hope 2021 is a better year not just to get out shooting but to get rid of corvid, I live out in the sticks but my area is on tier 3 so only go out now and again
