Thanks for that Nicos - we have an oak tree at the bottom of the garden (see red circled area on following images), and as you can see there's plenty of plants/bushes/trees and alike right next to the house.

The Oak is covered in Ivy, which the squirrels love.

Looks like I'll need to get me some meal worms.
