Maybe it was just a sunburnt grey

I see them all the time.

Bearing in mind I live 3 miles from Brownsea island, one of the largest colonies left it's however not surprising

Saw a pair of reds in Victoria park, Bath about 20 years ago. They ran into the road to mate and were promptly flattened by a mini

I see them often in the North of Brussels, when I get up early enough
The grey are they the Korean ground squirrels? They abound in the Zoniënwoud, South of the city, but cannot cross the canal

when I was working in Dusseldorf I remember seeing a couple in the tree's as well.
One time a deer got stuck in the garden surrounding the office, and it took about a dozen people nearly an hour to get it out!

the perils of suburbia!

I saw one just a week ago, just like British Red has said, it was on a range at Altcar training camp, near Southport. I was there with the Army Cadets on Annual camp. before that was last year at an estate house in County Monaghan. I have quite a few greys come to take the Hazel nuts from the trees in my garden, but not seen a red here in county Antrim

It looks like the squirrel is reading the sign and just about to turn and walk where the sign says he must!

I used to see the reds in Germany all the time, almost black they were. I don't recall seeing one in Britain, maybe as a child but I can't say for sure. I'm doing my best to rid these isles of the invader!:AR15firin
