:) great news.

Ours are also quiet (although we were away for 10 days and the food we left when we set off had been eaten when we got back - including the bowl in the "feeding station" that the bigger animals shouldn't be able to get into).

I messaged might Daughters to tell them our news, and that we had video of it taking leaves in. One of them replied ā€œOh, itā€™s furnished the houseā€ šŸ˜€

One of ours was spotted again last night, so they're not in full on hibernation yet it seems.

And I forgot to say why we actually put the camera out last night. Over the last week or so our squirrel feeder has been going walkies overnight. it just sits on the floor, not attached to anything, and when we wake up in morning it has been moved to the middle of the grass. We put it back and repeat.

Looks like it's the fox - presumably he can't get in it properly (not being squirrel sized) so he needs to pick it up and shake the nuts out. That was my guess anyway, but we've got evidence now!

We haven't seen our hedgehog for a week or so, but my brother (who lives opposite) still has his visiting.

Mr Fox enjoys having the food though

Surprised to see a medium sized hog on the bird ground feeder last night whilst locking up. Will have to make sure it's stocked up tonight for him/her.

We put out food again the other evening although not had any sightings, the food in the feeding station remains untouched, the dish left in the open was cleared, we suspect by a cat as that was all we picked up on camera, itā€™s tricky as not entirely sure if they are hibernating...
