You just never know who is going to
visit your garden. This little guy (I think we should call him Ruairi - translates as red-haired king in Gaelic) has
been paying regular visits to our bird table and enjoying the spoils that he
finds there.
I watched him this morning in the act of burying the nuts in the
earth in the flower-pot! He went on to bury them in random places in the middle
of the grass.
I have to admire his faith. Wherever he
buries the nuts he has the belief that at some time in the future he will be
able to come back and find his hidden store.
As he left that morning I could only
step back and admire his simple faith. Perhaps we try too hard.
