Baby Hooligan stars in Prison Break

A bit blurry I know but us surveillance operatives are working under difficult conditions. This is Baby Hooligan, so called because he is much smaller than my other visitors. He is not in prison. He has broken into prison – into my squirrel proof ground feeding station. How did he get through the bars – who knows. Perhaps there is a tunnel. If I shaved his fur off he might be covered in tattoos showing the way in and out.

Baby Hooligan, unaware of surveillance

I glanced down at my camera and when I looked up again he had gone.

Do click the picture for a closer look. Can you see his silvery, glinting eyes? Perhaps he’s a cyborg squirrel (I’m watching Terminator, The Sarah Connor Chronicles on TV).

Nowhere is safe…… Hmmm……I think the pressure is getting to me…… and I’m running out of peanuts.

Yes Baby Hooligan may very well be a squirrel-a-nator ?
That glint in his eyes is the give away .. Sarah would say nasty things to it , let alone what she would do ! LOL

This is developing into a regular saga – I can’t wait for the next episode ;)

Pests, no doubt, but I love your descriptions! Baby Hooligan! Who’s next?

Great stuff (not really) but I like a good drama in the garden ;-)

Now, there is only one thing for it now – set up a video camera! You could have unseen squirrel footage for YouTube. Then on the other hand the minute you try to catch it on film … it will be nowhere to be seen! Win, win perhaps?

Ahh, it looks like you have a new pet squirrel in a cage. You will have to get a water bottle for the side and one of those small pet wheels for his exercise. At least you’ve got the food regimen figured out. Remember to keep those pesky birds out of his cage.

LOL! What a scamp!

Squirrel proof ground feeding station? Really? Squirrel proof? Perhaps someone forgot to mention it to the little squirrel that’s in it. ;-) This is turning out to be a kind of mission impossible, isn’t it?

Oh, I feel your pain, even as I bust a gut laughing! Maybe BH and my nemesis Dr. Destructo are on some squirrel internet chat boards at a convenient trans-atlantic time, cracking each other up on our hilariously inept attempts to keep our stuff safe from them and their cronies!

Joy – I think I need Sarah to give me a hand (lol)

VP, Racquel, Kanak and Susan – This is truly turning into a soap opera and I am glad it is keeping you all amused :-)

Shirl – I have a feeling that the camera would be unscrewed and carried away by the little horror!

Northern Shade – Now that I think of it he does resemble a guinea pig with a large tail!

Yolanda Elizabet – Mission Impossible it is (lol)

Karen – Mmmm… I think you may be right about them laughing at our expense.
