Return of El Gordo

Back in January I blogged about 'our' squirrel, El Gordo, and my efforts to stop him eating the peanuts put out for the lickle birdies. I made three squirrel baffles from plastic bowls, and they worked pretty well. El Gordo disappeared. We actually got a little concerned, particularly as the weather changed for the worse. But then the frost split one of the baffles - enough for him to take heart and renew his attack. Over the last week or so he has been seen pulling at it, jumping on it, getting another squirrel to help and even trying to get the local fat pigeon in on the act.

This is the result:

Baffle baffled!

So we've decided that we actually quite like our squirrel, and so long as he's not eating the actual birdfeeders any more (bit expensive) we'll let him eat the peanuts when he can. But I have mended the baffle...

"Oh yeah?"
