      You don't even have to dive into the depths of the wilderness to observe animals. Many animals can also be observed in the green belt of the cities. You just have to sit patiently for a while and the first ones will appear very quickly. Our native red squirrels visit us regularly on the balcony and like to pick up their hazelnuts, which are lying there for them. I love squirrels 🙂

    I love squirrels so much ❤️🐿. Luckily they come to visit me on my balcony a lot and of course I name them all. And their favourite food is a kind of porridge I make them fresh every day. It consists of grounded and chopped hazelnuts with a little water and a tiny amount of honey. Here in Germany we have plenty of red squirrels and in the south of Germany (where I live) also very beautiful black ones.
    The one with the blonde tail in your video was adorable (and clearly a mommy 🥰).
    I hope to see more of your brilliant videos in the future, Dani! 💖☺️

      3 squirrels in my foresty garden, South of Warsaw (Poland). They spend a lot of time eating pine cones and mushrooms very close to our veranda. Now and then, they come down to watch us and to hide their food. A constant show. But maybe not for 6 hours.

    Fantastic video. I could sit and watch reds all day and have done a few times as I spent 8 years photographing them in England and Scotland. I’ve now moved to the conservation side and am involved with grey control in the north east trying to ensure we have colony’s of reds left for future generations to enjoy. We are now seeing reds on a property where only greys have been present for a few years so the work is paying off.
    Once again cracking video and looking forward to seeing more.
