Wintery squirrels & cosy ponies . . .

Such a lovely treat this week the snow bought into our garden
 two new wee visitors to our Narnian wonderland.
Such antics they get up to, & keep burying nuts on the snowy lawn
for the wily blackbirds to then go and pinch !
Also just had to share these cuties.
Two of Shetlands most famous things
Shetland ponies & Fair Isle knitwear.
This to promote the "Year of Natural Scotland"

  4. I have a regular tribe of red squirrels. I hear that they are not as common in the UK. And, I love the pony sweaters... though they do seem to emphasize their stumpiness, dare I say!

  7. Good to see our red squirrel population are doing OK down your way Ruthie. Did you know you can report your squirrel sightings on the Scottish Wildlife Trust's webpage.
    Love the Shetlands.
