A family of squirrels appear to be getting ready for a long cold winter by taking it in turns to distribute their nuts around the garden using a wheelbarrow. The three red squirrels all grabbed hold of the handles of the tiny 20cm-long wheelbarrow, big enough to hold a dozen or so pecan nuts. Photographer Geert Weggen, 48, is visited by the squirrels regularly and has watched two of them closely over the last two years. However, he recently spied them lurking near the small copper wheelbarrow in his garden which was full of nuts. The squirrels took full advantage of the haul - but they didn't hang around as they dashed off to bury keep them for the winter. Sitting three metres away, Geert watched them closely from his home in Bispgarden in central Sweden. (credit:Geert Weggen/Solent News/REX Shutterstock)
