This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

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.
