In the past few years I've had little or nothing in the way of nuts, because as they approach ripeness they all disappear - to squirrels as far as I can tell.
This year I'm finding some, and my guess is that the hard weather of the last two winters has, temporarily, slashed the squirrel population. When I was a lad I don't remember seeing a lot of squirrels, but in recent years they have been very common.
Anyone else finding anything similar?

I'm 65 years old and this year has to be the best year I've ever had for hazelnuts , the trees have been laden with them , now I have gathered that many I'm no sure what I'm going to do with them ? I wonder if I can grind them and mix them in my chicken feed ? I know my granny used to feed them to her pig.
