I just came back from checking my post box and heard crunching sounds coming from one of my big walnut trees. I looked to locate the sound and also saw bits of something falling from the tree. I walked closer and there was a tiny black squirrel munching away at a walnut. It was quite a big meal for the little creature so it was still eating the same walnut 10 minutes later when I came back in the house. It is little moments like that which make me glad I came to rural Hungary. I've always felt it a privilege when such wildlife choose to share my space, although I could manage quite well without the flies and mosquitoes!
