An old saying I remember from my childhood was "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away". As I arrived on the Dorset Wildlife Trust reserve for my regular Wednesday volunteering, I was pleased to see a Red Squirrel running down the main track towards me. I stopped & I wondered how close it would get before it saw me. The reality is it was running to get to the apple core that a visitor had thoughtlessly thrown away, before I got there. Once it reached the apple core, it grabbed it & then sat in the tree enjoying its trophy.
