Squirrels

[Astronuc]

Some think they are cute, and other think they are pests.

I think we had one in the garage, and it was living in the roof.  Whatever it was, did quite a bit of damage to the masonary and wood.  It was probably a grey squirrel, of which we have an abundance.

Anyway, I found this on the BBC about red squirrels in Whinfell Forest in Cumbria.

Where I grew up, there were a lot of red squirrels, and a few grey squirrels.

Occassionally, there would also be a black squirrel, which is just a mis-coloured red squirrel.
