I have walked and shown you some of the ‘Wild Side’ of
Mount Stewart before and in particular the natural play area but recently I
walked even further round the Demesne and photographed the Bluebells although
those shots due not do justice to their true beauty. I am linking with Through My Lens.
Now that the National Trust now own all the of the 1,000 acres of the Demesne, they can have a better control
of the Grey squirrels and they are
winning the battle nowadays as more Red Squirrels have been seen recently.
During part of the season they leave some food out for them and the rectangular
grey area on the inside of the lid is a very cunning but simple method of detecting
what coloured Squirrels are feeding here due to the fact that either grey or red hairs are left on the sticky
surface of this tape.
I love the wooden sculptures! They blend right in with the beautiful bluebells. The large tree and the bluebells around it is beautiful. Wonder how they keep the squirrels from getting stuck to the tape? I believe in a lot of places, grey squirrels have chased out the red ones.
ReplyDeleteLove the bluebells and the sculptures. And hooray for the National Trust.

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful images, Margaret. Interesting how they tell what squirrels are using the feeders by the different colored hair.
ReplyDeleteSo so charming!
ReplyDeleteBluebells are so special. I would love to have a bunny carving in my yard -- I always think it is lucky to spot one (a real one) on my walks... I'd love the reminder.
