We were only talking about this today, we are normally plaged by them but none this year, could it be down to the severe winter we had?

I wish!!! grrrr..

They ALL moved into mine!

I just get the occasional one as usual.

Interesting, I wonder if it's just certain areas. I would hate to think they are being poisoned in mine, though I can't say they are my favourite creatures. We have a lot of badgers here but as squirrels are very fast and badgers are only out at night, we don't think they can be the reason.

My aunt would be more than happy for a decline lol, the little "@*!?#*!" kept digging up her peas. Although she did see one get run over on the main road by her house the other day.

I've been told we still have the killer squirrel in the park by us (used to be well known for attacking people on the way to the registry office lol).

And for the finale something keeps digging up my garden (beds and grass) too small for a cat or fox, I'm pretty sure its the squirrel grrr.

Its all go with the squirrels in Sandwell.

Our nut tree has been stripped overnight!!! Lol.

Used to suffer when I moved here, but my cat took care of them!!

funny you brought up this because I was just thinking the same .I have not seen any at all this year which is strange.....

In some parts of the country they are culling Grey Squirrels to allow the Red Squirrel population to recover. I seem to remember that the grey in some areas were suffering from some sort of disease which if contacted by reds would wipe out much of the reds population.

Don't know if culling is happening in your area.

We normally have 4 or 5 of the blighters, pinching all the birdfeed etc and digging holes here and there. But I'm delighted to say we've only seen an occasional one this year.

Hi, live remote in the highlands and happy to divluge that the red squirrel population is growing well this year. We have had two litters of red squirrels this year which is excellent news. Ours are very friendly and are happy to pose for piccies ;-)

sadly they are a live and breeding in my village. regularly have 5 frollicking in the garden digging and damaging plants. grrrrrr

Interesting that they don't seem to be disappearing in certain areas more than others. I have even picked the hazelnuts from the ground and laid them all out on a table for them - still no takers. Weird.
