In a Nutshell

#Socs

It might still be winter

but some creatures have to

replenish their larders

having feasted like kings

over Christmas and new year

That tapping noise you can hear ?

it’s Mrs squirrel checking out

the freshness of the produce

left out by the hazelnut tree

this morning

And those that don’t make the grade ?

a perfect place at the foot of the tree

for her young brood to play

hide and seek out in the winter weather
