A COUNTY Press reader has enjoyed the company of these red squirrel kittens in her garden.

Sarah Dover, who lives near Niton and Whitwell, managed to snap these pictures of the young squirrels as they feasted on berries on her patio.

Sarah said: "These two kittens arrived in my garden on Dolcoppice Lane on Wednesday (27) in that awful weather. They were eating the Hawthorn Berries on my patio.

"They then found a dead bird and squabbled over it. We didn’t realise squirrels are carnivores too, so I’ve learned something.

"They’re still here and hang out in the Hawthorn Tree with the many blue tits, great tits and sparrows that I feed.

"They love the bird feeders too, so I’ve been out to buy a squirrel peanut feeder for them and am waiting for them to learn how to use it."
