published a series of delightful photographs.

Here are two of them.

SNACK-BAR!

'You must seek among the branches' said Ma Squirrel to her son

'Or look-out for little acorns on the ground.

Tiny creatures such as we are

Need to know where things for tea are

And on the forest floor they can be found.

*

You must scratch down deep in the undergrowth , you know,

And that is why you have such useful claws,

With your little tail erect

You are certain to collect

Some quite delicious morsels in your paws.'

*

But Greybeard was a squirrel with a very wayward mind

And a nose that was ideally made for smelling.

He found a garbage bin

And he hurried to climb in

And what he thought to find there there's no telling!

*

Now inside there were some cartons with MacDonalds written large

And a great aroma of discarded chips

And he snickered with delight

As he took a little bite

And he licked his very rodent-looking lips.

*

'Who needs acorns?' squeaked young Greybeard, wiping whiskers with a paw,

'Though Mama may think this eating is a sin,

Trees from little acorns grow,

But now at last I know

Something better grows inside a garbage bin!'

*

Inside Job!

Some more fun with little creatures here:
