Strongly considering collecting seeds and planting these around trees as revenge on squirrels for digging up seedlings and stealing fruit. 😈… 🐿️🐿️🐿️😱☠️

Cirsium horridulum, bristle thistle (aka horrid thistle)

Close-up of the yellow and brown thistle center showing intricate details and textures. The stamens are deep in the center and look like the end of spaghetti noodles squeezed into a bunch.
A wider shot of the thistle. It is actually a very large plant. The leaves look like arugula if it were massively thorny and could be used as a weapon. The rolled up hedgehog of a flower sits on top of this giant vicious plant.

#Plantstodon #Plants #xeriscape #squirrels #gardening We have (had) climbing roses that have been stripped bare by rock squirrels looking for water. Is there a climbing plant that is squirrel resistant? We replaced the annual flowering plants with catmint or baby rita, which the rock squirrels don't bother at all.

Anybody know whether this guy is acting rabid or not? It's 72 degrees out, he's in the shade clutching the wall breathing really rapidly and he doesn't appear scared of me.

Red squirrels in the Queen Elizabeth forest in the Trossachs.

LOOK AT THEIR TUFTY FLUFFINESS!

Taken with a hand held camera because I wasn't expecting to video, I was there to get snaps of the birds from the bird hide, but they were were just so cute.

Also cheeky, stealing ALL THE NUTS.

#redSquirrels #squirrels #Scotland #video #nature

Video footage of red squirrels on a tree trunk with a bird nut feeder attached to it. They circle around it, chasing each other, before one stops to have a good old munch of nuts, before the other reappears and they dash off up the tree.
