Persistence

We have always had a grey squirrel that has been very adept at taking seeds from the bird feeder - https://www.blipfoto.com/entry/2645785577915420477

Last week a squirrel appeared who looks younger and hasn't quite mastered the art of pole climbing.  He gets so far and then rather embarrassingly slides back down.

Today after a lot of persistence, as these four blips show, he made it to the top for about 15 seconds before loosing his grip.  Just practice and confidence I suppose!
