It's not only me qho spread a feast for the squirrels, one of our neigbourghs 
who's living close to the green area (with lots of trees - firtrees and 
others) is feeding them already since long time, mostly in Fall. At ours they 
first found the curl-hazelnuttree and took off the little nuts. These nuts 
are smaller than normal hazelnuts.

Thanks for the information, but as I already said I'd be glad to get the 
Latin names for them.
