    I think the one on the left looks a bit shifty

      But then again it could be a squirrel, because they are quite clever

          Now what would you call that mean looking beastie @kazzawazza ? :snorky:

          Okay folks, we have another contender. :) I was speaking to my neighbour about this mystery today and he thinks it may be a Pine Marten. Apparently the previous owner of my home used to feed them.

                @Sheal I have never heard of one of those. I had to Google it. Is it like an otter?

                How fantastic is that ! :) they are quite shy animals, but judging by your photos that is a very likely contender as you have a large wooded area nearby. Could you set up the night camera? It would be a treat to watch them. Do you have many red squirrels there then?

                  No it's a land animal Kazzawazza. It resembles a Ferret but it's habits are like a Squirrel. :)

                  I haven't got a night camera Tetters but I'm now considering one. I've only seen one red squirrel in the garden so far but there's quite a few in the area. There's trees all around us and my neighbour's garden is full of them - he loves trees! :)

                  The view from my back garden.

                  Lovely view @Sheal - more spectacular when it`s frosted - and perfect for the Pine Marten.
