It's that time of the year on Loch Ness when our little furry friends get very active as they collect nuts from the hazel trees and frantically try to build up their fat reserves for winter. It is estimated that red squirrels put on 12% of their body weight in autumn. This past two weeks at Evergreen when we look out the dining room window in the morning we usually see one or two squirrels dancing from branch to branch. Here are a few photos taken recently.
