Completed WK4R2 this morning and really enjoyed it. It was a bit grey and damp but quite warm all of which makes perfect weather for slugs and snails ๐ŸŒ Ugh ๐Ÿ˜‘-note to self-look at where you put your feet Kim!! Another thing to remember as well as the breathing, putting one foot in front of the other, singing and just looking cool ๐Ÿ˜Ž!!

Anyway back to the title of my post-Squirrels are carnivores!! Yes they really are and how do I know this. Well, dead hedgehog=breakfast for all wildlife and as I turned the corner in my cool down walk there it was in the road with magpies, crows and yes, squirrels!! 4 of them all gathered round the hedgehog as if they were sitting down for a feast!!

Not only have I learnt that I can run, even if it is only for short times at the moment, but that squirrels eat each other ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Thanks for tuning in, now you can go out with some new found knowledge and maybe you'll discover something new for yourself!!

All I know about squirrels is they dig up my bulbs and mess with my garden ๐Ÿ˜ก This year I'm covering them with mesh (the bulbs not the squirrels......... although.........)

Oh, by the way, well done on the run ๐Ÿ™‚

That's the circle of life:)!!! Must be a day for wildlife, I came round a corner this morning with my outrunner in front of me to a face a flock of pigeons in our way. Sorry to say they are one down now, I didn't realise my dog could run so far with a pigeon in his mouth. He looked so proud of himself:)!!!

Read your post before I headed out on my run and there was a squirrel running along the telegraph lines alongside me.

He would scamper along, then stop and look at me, then scamper some more.

He was probably thinking that if I collapsed I would feed a lot more than 4 squirrels
