Photo of flower pot with red houseleek and some grass coming out between the remnants of the Edelweiss that died a few months ago and a fresh hole with a single acorn in it.

    Are there squirrels in your area?
    I have seen them go up vertical house walls to raid a bird feeder on my neighbour’s balcony on 4th floor…

      Yeah, there are, but I have only ever seen them on and between trees, never on houses. Would be nice to have them visit during the day, when my shutters are rolled up so I can admire them.

      The hole is also very small and I had blackbirds dig in the pot next to it before, so I also suspect birds. Crows are known to leave gifts and acorns are among the possible choices.

      If it was a squirrel, it may come back and search it in a few months.
