Autumn Grey Squirrel Opening Feeder Box In My Cottage Garden Scone By Perth Perthshire Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K Autumn travel video of a Grey squirrel eating Sunflower seeds by opening my metal feeder box on a visit to my cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire. I had not seen any of my friendly Squirrels for a wee while as they start hibernating for a few days at this time of year. As its name suggests, this squirrel typically has a grey coat with white undersides, though the coat colour can also be quite brown at times. Grey squirrels are mainly herbivorous, eating acorns, hazel nuts, berries, fungi, buds and shoots, and even bark. During the Fall months squirrels are foraging for food. Squirrel movement decreases significantly in the winter months, with some squirrel species even hibernating during this time
