Grey Squirrel getting free feed

Here we see a Grey squirrel taking advantage of a free feed notice the plump condition of this little animal. Although cute they have a devastating effect on our native Red Squirrel populations by passing on a deadly virus which they themselves are immune to. They are also guilty of taking young birds, steps are being taken throughout the country to eradicate them.

Glad to see you're mentioning the devastating effect this deceptively cute wee critter's having on our native reds.
