That squirrel is going out on a bit of a limb, isn't it?

Clever photo, I guess the photographer fixed the basket to the tree and waited for their moment

Yes, the photographer saw a mini shopping trolley on Internet, bought it and decided to try to attract a squirrel by filling it with nuts. He hoped to get one good photo, but to his surprise it was very popular. Squirrels came and went, so he could create a whole series.
Best wishes,
Hans

Thanks for sharing this image, Hans.
I showed it to 'cat' and he said "Hmm, is that really a small trolley or am I now to be more careful about what I chase?" :grin:

He's not familiar with the way squirrels operate then?
