This is part 2 of the posts that I am showing you of some
of my photographs from walking round Mount Stewart Demesne with Toby, the
Ranger and other members. If you missed
part 1, CLICK HERE
Toby,the other Ranger, Andrew and volunteers are monitoring the Red Squirrel numbers and trying to encourage them rather than the Grey Squirrel. This penultimate image shows a very clever device where if a Grey Squirrel comes for food, that grey rectangular area will have some of its hairs on it (Grey). They do not feed the Squirrels all the year round and make sure they place half hidden food for them in different areas of the woods.
Many thanks for your visit and also your comments.
The woods can be really nice in winter as well. It's nice to observe nature in this time of the year.
