Callame @callame.bsky.social · 23/12/2024Have a lovely break Bluesky friends. Now I’m betterish, my resolution for next year is to be more engaged here, and post more Squirrels. #sqrlpix 140
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 16/11/2024How have you been? How’s Bluesky holding up under all the new members? 110
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Doing ok. Had a ruff year but on the mend. It’ll take more than open heart surgery to finish me off… 110
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 16/11/2024No, it stopped after Rentokil seemingly wiped out all the nature in the area. Kestrels, Squirrels, Magpies, Jays and more all vanished. But just 6 short months later they’re bouncing back, including the Jays who I especially love. 110
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 16/11/2024The squirrels are back, and in numbers. Evil neighbour and Rentokil got them down but not out. Nature 1 : Evil Neighbour 0 110

Callame @callame.bsky.social · 17/03/2024Last week at the lovely job I’ve had for 5+ years before I move to scary big job on Thursday. So having Ice cream sour beer. 010
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 14/03/2024I’m going to be in PA later this year working and am planning on a DC visit! I’ll add ‘looking for squirrel’ to my to do list. 140

Callame @callame.bsky.social · 08/03/2024After months of fearing that pest control may win and permanently wipe out the squirrels around me I’ve had a visitor! So all the money spent on trying to wipe them out has been wasted it appears. Nature 1 Evil Neighbour 0 Welcome back lil friend, let me get you all the nuts. #mammals 1388
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 20/02/2024Do you mean the Dove in Hammersmith? I’m not a beer connoisseur, but I do like it- I was working in Pennsylvania last year and they’re crazy about sours and fruity beers, micro breweries all over the place, so it felt rude not to try them. All of them. Craft beer was better there than here imo. 000
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 20/02/2024Thanks. Been a scary few weeks waiting for results. Full transparency I also bought dessert. 020
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 20/02/2024I had some health news today that I was told to prepare for the worst about but turned out fine, so in your face Dr. I’m celebrating alone with an over-priced fruity beer that I actually really recommend as it’s delicious, if a bit odd. Tastes proper custardy. #custard 050

Callame @callame.bsky.social · 03/02/2024I was griping to my best friend about Joe Rogan and expressing my bewilderment at his money and ‘popularity’, and at the end of my 5 minute rant she turned to me and said “who is Joe Rogan?”. And I was reminded she has no social media at all and is the happiest person I know. And smartest. 010
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 02/02/2024I post squirrel pictures, and only squirrel pictures. Like this one. 0192
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 02/02/2024A couple of girls from work and I started a Capybara fan club! I love them so much. We visited here in November to give them ear scratches and it was a life highlight. www.hobbledown.com/hounslow/exp...hobbledown.comFeed the Capybaras 130
Reposted by Callameemiliaclara.bsky.social @emiliaclara.bsky.social · 01/02/2024Hello bluesky, I seem to be joining on the perfect day! Not sure what I will be using this account for yet but was referred by the one and only squirrel man @callame.bsky.social 0153
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 30/01/2024If you’re near squirrels you’ve almost certainly heard them, and maybe assumed it was very loud birds. I find their shouting to be hilarious. They do it to warn about predators, scare off other squirrels, attract other squirrels etc. I’ll dig out some footage of my squirrel shooting at me. 200
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 29/01/2024Yeah I’m in Ealing. 100% - I saw the van outside my house and asked them. But you’re right, soon they’ll be babies & then they’ll spread out from their dreys and come back to my garden anyway. Absolutely needless. Never met my new neighbour but I think we can safely say we’re not going to be pals. 000
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 29/01/2024I’m so confused about it. What miserable people they must be. The thing is it’s pretty pointless as in a month or two they’ll be back anyway after spreading from further afield. They were also occasional prey for a family of kestrel’s & a peregrine falcon family. So they’ll leave as well now. 🙁👎 010
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 29/01/2024If you’re wondering where the squirrel pics are I’m very sad to say that my new neighbours “didn’t like the noise they make” so hired Rentokill. Unfortunately it looks like they’ve managed to kill them all from my garden and nearby as I haven’t see one for weeks. No exaggeration to say I’m bereft. 620
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 21/01/2024It’s a bit late in the day but Happy National Squirrel Appreciation Day everyone, from Kentucky Squirrel and me. #mammals 511828
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 19/01/2024Thanks for thinking of me! I don’t start the new thing until April though due to long notice period, so I’ve got another 3+ months to build my imposter-anxiety up. 010
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 10/01/2024I’m 52 & like most people I’ve had challenges. I’m officially leaving the safe job I love after 6 years for a scary, grown up & high-profile one & I’m terrified. Imposter syndrome level 28. My boss is 33 & I’m going to miss her so badly, she made me a better man. Life. Here’s a squirrel. #mammals 2275
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 03/01/2024I wish! No he lives in the garden in the tree you can see in the background of most pics. I can feed him by hand and he’ll sit on my foot sometimes, but I tend to ‘scare’ him away so he keeps a healthy distance from humans. 110
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 26/12/2023Hope everyone is having a peaceful few days. To those that aren’t; keep going, tunnels end more often than not I’ve learned. And for those same people that this time of year is a challenge, here’s Kentucky desperately trying - and eventually succeeding - at carrying off 3 big nuts. #mammals 1205
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 18/12/2023Another shot from a few weeks ago with the brown leaves falling from Kentucky’s tree in the background. I appreciate I’m a bit of a one trick pony with my squirrel shots but when they pose like this I can’t resist. Love them looking healthy like in this image. Look at that groomed tail! #mammals 0182
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 14/12/2023Oh my this is beautiful, where are black squirrels found?? Did you know there’s blue ones in India that grow to a metre long… 3103
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 14/12/2023Thanks, had a hard couple weeks (and by hard I mean they made me work harder than normal for my pay) but I’m officially overeating on the sofa now until January,so hurrah for me! 110
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 11/12/2023The leaves have gone from Kentucky’s tree now so I get a good view of his drey. It was a bird box, but it’s his home now. Love his tail-styling in this shot. #mammals 1131
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 07/12/2023I wonder if they did but didn't notice? I think it's quite common. Here's a photo from autumn when I got brought some cloth. This one came back 2 or 3 times to give me cloth. 1114
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 06/12/2023Having a bad week, made a bit better by squirrel visits. Squirrels are reciprocal animals, & I get brought twigs as thanks for being a free nut dispenser. Today almost improved when I was brought a KFC bone, but when I went to get my phone for a pic a magpie stole it. Thanks Magpie. #mammals 1213
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 03/12/2023Got sunday night fear of the week ahead, so here's a bonus squirrel shot taken from inside my flat this past summer, which feels a long time ago... #sqrlpix 161
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 01/12/2023I love Jays. There's 2 that should be arriving back here anytime for the winter to resume their yearly battles with the Magpies and Squirrels. Hopefully I'll get some nice close ups, they're very bold. 100
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 01/12/2023I like to think I'm in control but in reality they have me wrapped around their paws and they know it. 010
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 01/12/2023It's that time again! Our relationship is transactional - Kentucky only gets breakfast if he gives me a good pose & lets me snap him. He outdid himself here. Did you know, research suggests that in the right environment, a single squirrel can plant 10,000 trees in it's lifetime. #mammals 3266
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 29/11/2023Another day, another pic of Kentucky & today's fact is that a test by Yale into squirrel memory showed one squirrel able to locate - with pinpoint accuracy - 900 of 1000 buried nuts over a 2 year period. Best guess is he used landmarks as a guide. 2nd fact: his memory is better than mine. #mammals 0203
Callame @callame.bsky.social · 27/11/2023It's wet & windy in London, but Kentucky still wants his breakfast. Squirrel fact; squirrels will engage in deceptive behaviour if they think someone is watching them & will 'fake bury' nuts, throwing leaves in the air for dramatic effect;I love this behaviour! source: shorturl.at/fjOZ7 #mammals 0257
