I heard a scuffle in the garden and looked out in time to see two young squirrels running around the lawn frantically and then one leapt up and ripped the baby robin from its perch before disappearing over the fence when I opened the door.

The broken pot in the background is also squirrel damage

Thank god you didn't mention the moss on the brick work. Apparently that 'needs' removing but I am gently ignoring it at the moment.

Is the trap not doing its job?

I took the trap down a few months back after reducing the numbers to a more sensible level and the neighbour stopped feeding them so the problem was largely removed.

Might get some peanut butter as bait and put it back up though as these latest ones seem particularly brazen and do more damage than before. I guess it is because we are not in the garden so much in the cold weather.

You should have heard what they said about WCA when they got back to HQ.

Plan the attack

Ninja Squirrel #1 "Did you see my moves on that fake bird?"

Ninja Squirrel #2  "Yeah blood,wicked moves,that human is soooo slow".

Ninja Squirrel #1  "4Sure Bro,that fake bird needed to go"

Ninja Squirrel #2  "At least his paintings are getting better,think we should pose for one?"

🙂 🙂

I'm just amazed there are baby robins around already.
