We had several grey squirrels in the gardens last year, annoying at times
but mostly entertaining. No sign of any this year. Any ideas why?

I wish I could say the same but my planters have been ruined by them
this year. I must have tried planting bulbs in them and pots about 3
times and then the grey sods dig them up and ruin other plants looking
for bulbs.

I had one in my living room the other day; the cat chased it in. I chased it
out again.

Watched one sunning itself on a neighbour's rootop for a good 5 minutes this
morning- until a pigeon tried to land on it.

Perhaps you live in an area where people who disapprove of squirrels pay for
the animals to be exterminated?

Here in our neck of the woods my cat kills and eats the babies if she can
catch them. If she can't, we'll have no walnuts in the autumn.

I saw a squirrel running along a power line across the street from my house
a couple of days ago.

We have had the usual squirrel damage this spring. Would you like use
the send you some?

Mike I live in Middleton St. George, Darlington and last year we had dozen a pair even breeding in an owl nest box, but this year they have completely disappeared.

Hard winter? THey come out and feed on mild days, and there weren't that many mild days this last winter.
