Gourmet squirrel

I was beginning to think that the new squirrel that has been coming to the garden was suffering some sort of confusion but now I just think he is extremely clever!
At first he was quite timid and shy and he had no idea where all the peanuts that he could smell were hidden! So he explored and first he found the ones for the birds that are in a wire mesh hanging feeder on a pole. I came down one morning to find him precariously hanging upside down with the feeder in his front paws while the pole swung threateningly from side to side. That also explained why I had come home from the farmer's market the day before to find the pole lying on the ground because the prong doesn't go in very far and my soil is very light and sandy.
Then I thought that if I put a few peanuts on the shelf of the squirrel nut box, he would soon realise where they were. This I did and at the same time I put some sunflower seeds that I had harvested onto the bird table to see whether or not the birds would eat them.
When squirrel next came into the garden he started at the bird table and scoffed all the sunflower seeds, then hung upside down and discovered the peanuts. He had a couple of attempts to get at those in the box but the perspex front baffled him, then he found out that if he stuck his head under the lid, he could get as many as he wanted.
Now his daily routine when he comes into the garden, is started by polishing off the bird seed (I buy the ready husked which also has a lot of sunflower seeds) then he has some peanuts from his box. For 'afters' he climbs the pole with the bird feeders on and has discovered that if he holds tight to the nut feeder then turns and twists, he can undo the lid of the mesh holder and drop it to the ground. He has a few of these nuts before moving on to my water lily tub for a drink before going home fit to burst!
