Welcome to our new weekly feature when we publish your photos from the stunning Shotley peninsula.

This week the main picture is by James Linsell-Clark showing a rare black squirrel chomping into a batch of Christmas walnuts in his back garden

Adorable six-year-old Indy was pictured tucking into the delicious festive meal that James had laid out for, noting she doesn't like almonds.

Below are other random peninsula pictures.
