Having a chat with the locals

Stopped off for a bite to eat in the park today and a spot of dowsing.  Sat at the picnic bench under my favourite trees and the squirrels became curious about the contents of my lunch.

As I was eating a salad bowl with veg, beans and nuts, I threw a piece on the floor for chunky cheeky squirrel.  3 others joined him, which gained the attention of a crow, 2 magpies and a wood pigeon.  For the next several minutes i threw bits of nuts, beans and veg and Mr Crow managed to see them all off and scoff most of the bounty.

I put my rubbish in the bin and wandered off.  I was checking out some trees and thinking about the energy lines nearby, wondering if they connected when I noticed that the squirrels and Crows were following me.  I stood still and cheeky chunky squirrel was a couple of metres away.

We had a little chat.  Apparently he was still hungry, despite being the roundest Squirrel I have ever seen.  I thought be was going to climb up me, thankfully he didn't.

I sat by a tree to eat my dessert, a rather lovely Greek yogurt with cherry compote, topped with muesli clusters.  I decided to share with CC Squirrel and held out a cluster for him. He bobbled over, gently took the cluster from my fingers and ate it very cutely with his two little front paws.  

It made me smile inside, so I held out another cluster.  Cheeky Chunky Squirrel bobbled back over to grab the muesli in his mouth and in split second, missed the cluster, bit my thumb and then it all went slow-mo..... I shouted "Owwwww!!!" whilst trying to shake a tree-climbing ball of fluff off my hand. 

Squirrels huh, Fuckers!
