Pictures of birds and mammals are all the rage at the moment and were certainly very popular on Twitter yesterday. Search on #weaselwoodpecker or #woodpeckerweasel for example. If you don’t know what I’m talking about I assume you are not on Twitter, are new to Facebook or perhaps this is your first day on Earth? See here for a clue if you are baffled.
To be honest it had made me feel rather inadequate – my offering today is indeed a mammal and a bird but firstly they are not even in the same frame and secondly one is not getting a ride from the other…. otherwise I hope you enjoy them.

A ground feeding squirrel
BUT to cap it all a squirrel riding on a bird …………… feeder
A Dartmoor blog 
Well yes, that image was fun, but not as much as hearing my first Skylark of the year whilst walking near Cox Tor yesterday 🙂
