We used to have the nicer looking Red here all over Ireland, but the incredibly stupid introduction of the American Grey with its very transmittable infection - the Squirrel Pox - has decimated them both here, and in the UK. http://www.mammals-in-ireland.ie/species/red-squirrel The law of unintended consequences triumphs yet again - just think of Brexit, its likely siloisation of nations, and the probable resumption of the regular cycle of European wars. Maybe, when the current invasion of greys from Italy spreads to Northern France, what you have photographed will have become an increasing rarity. Then again, by that stage, there'll be so much red on the ground, red squirrels won't be missed. Douglas On 20/11/2017 16:24, Philippe wrote: > Our lively neighbor was there again yesterday.
