Update 05.11.21
Caching
Is a tactic that a lot of animals use in Autumn or just before Winter. It is the process where small mammals, rodents and some birds bury their food (mainly nuts) in holes that they dig underground.
The reason animals such as squirrels or rodents cache is in order to have enough food to survive the Winter. That is why they do it in Autumn. The caching animal will usually bury its food in several different places, because some are dug up by other animals like foxes.
Foxes can cache as well (they will bury the caught prey to eat later), but usually dig up other caches instead. Caching animals are: mink, squirrels, certain types of mice and hamsters, nuthatch and jays.
Fun fact
Hedgehogs don’t actually cache, they dig up other animal’s caches in the winter!

Some serious caching going on here

Well, well, well, what have we got here?

Black squirrel
Black squirrels were imported from North America and then escaped from private zoos. The first was spotted near Letchworth in 1912; today black squirrels are most commonly seen across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire. It has been thought there are around 25,000 in Britain.
