Tracking wildlife at Elvetham Heath LNR this pine cone has been eaten by a grey squirrel. We know this because the scales have been neatly stripped to get at the pine nuts inside and just the core is left. Crossbills and woodpeckers also eat the nuts inside pine cones but the scales on these pine cones often have very ragged edges where they have been jabbed. Can you find both types?
