Personally I like them, however I would like them a lot more if they were not responsible for the decline of our indigenous Red Squirrel. I cannot help myself in admiring the amazing ingenuity of these creatures. If you watch how they solve quite complex problems such as how to take nuts from a squirrel proof nut dispenser you cannot fail to be impressed. They are also amazing acrobats, the way they leap from branch to branch high up above the forest floor is truly death defying. I would suspect many must be killed falling from trees.
I took these photos today and am quite proud of them. If any of this is of interest to you, you can click the images to enlarge. If you do that you will see this squirrel is amazingly clean. Imaging how grubby we would be if we permanently lived outdoors and spent our time leaping through the trees and foraging for food on the floor.

Thanks, when I saw someone reply so soon I was waiting for the inevitable “they’re nothing other than tree rats” or “vermin” who should be killed.
Shoot them.
Yep Tom, that's what we should do
with those who have committed treason against our people.
I like them a lot we have three in our garden most days, they will come up to our door at and scratch it , letting us know they want some food, nuts and fat balls from the pet shop are their favourites.
Who is the nasty little runt Hatton who said he would shoot them.
We need to bring back an incentive to rid grey squirrels from these isles - such as being able to redeem a grey squirrel's tail for 20p at the local post office. This would:
(a) bring more trade into our struggling post offices;
(b) help drive these alien creatures to extinction so our native species can once again reign supreme.
(b) help drive these alien creatures to extinction so our native species can once again reign supreme.
Save The Anglo-Saxon Well said Tom.
Your wit astounds me, Anonymous :|
I have about four or five each day in my garden its amazing watching them I think two of them are BNP members if they allow squirrels to join.
We have two cats one white and one black when the white cat is in the garden they just ignore it and get on with their business, but when the black one goes out two of them gang up on it and chase it out, its amazing most squirrels scatter when they see a cat.
Now let me have a guess about this Hatton fellow above, is he one of these Tory Toff gentry sort of guys, just because hes in a wheelchair himself does that mean he wants to kill off all wildlife,sorry about your disability Tom hope you get better soon but don't take it out on our wildlife.
Save Our Race!
Wonder of Wildlife: I am absolutely NOT a gentry/country sports type (ok, I fly fish and have worked briefly for the local hunt but that's as far as it goes). I'm a standard, typical working-class Tory with no class warrior baggage like socialists.
Tom is also a big supporter of fox hunting hes a little blood thirsty sod.
His colleagues at School called him Little Lord Fauntleroy.
We know that John, most people are against blood sports! Only Tom knows Fuck all about life, we have to take into account, also he's too young to remember what the Tories did to young people leaving care and school.
At this time, remember, the only truth. The world needs this only true FAITH!
Large Labour teams out in Dukinfield and Hyde today looks like they are getting ready for an election very soon.
I saw them, they were at least 15 strong in Hyde and a similar number in Duki.
Shooting Grey Squirrels on your property is classed as pest control.
Keep fox hunting, ban Halal.
Tom was also known as 4T (Tom The Tory Toff)he thought he was better than most don't be fooled by his claim to be a normal working class boy, not sure about any disability he had we never saw anything wrong with him at School, he just looks like hes in Wheelchair in his photo.
Another very large team out in Dukinfield today despite the rain and cold weather our members turned out, Glemnore grove was fully canvassed its 85% Labour thanks for all your work Roy keep it up you are our best recruiting officer,
We were told that you have been dumping rubbish in the garden next door its a disgrace it will attract even more rats to the area.
we have also been asked if we can do anything about the dirty flag and curtains in one of the windows, were on to it .
Christ Taylor, learn to spell. You give yourself away every time.
Witch wurd did i spell rong them.
I wonder who that rabble was looking through my window today
The one's with the wolley hats were just stood there staring into my living room window. FREAKY!
Sorry mean to say 'woolley hats.'
The ones in the hats were the ones who came out in the pissing rain freezing cold to canvass for a good cause while you were sat on your arse pretending that a good computer campaign will win you a council seat.
Thats why Labour win, remember this they will be out again next week rain snow shit or blow,while you are sat at home on your fat arse.
We will be out very soon we are confident we can win the 2010 elections in Duki/Staly and Duki ward for Tameside council.
We know that UKIP and the Greens will not be standing in Duki and we can pick up many of their voters.
The BNP can not gain any further votes the have peaked we all know that the criminal conviction of their candidate will seriously damage them, his constant rantings and strange behavior in the area will help us.
We already know that he as wasted huge amounts of his tax payers funds on a useless campaign and its now dried up, money does make a difference and we have plenty of it for our campaign.
Wrong assumption!
Lakes Road, you said the same last two elections in Duki.
Lakes Road if he's no threat why bother giving him a mention then?
they are taking the piss out of someone who is mentally ill, typical tories
Who John Taylor?
Hey Little Lord Fauntleroy how come you never do any work in your ward these days,is that work for the servants to do.
The reason Why West is no longer very active is because hes got no money left and the BNP will only allow him a small amount of old leaflets,hes skint and finished.
There's plenty of work going on in Longdendale.
If you want a personal visit for me to explain a few policies i'd be more than happy to!
We have Fauntleroy in Hyde, Lady Knighton in Audenshaw, and now lord of the Manor in Longendale. God help us if this load of toffs ever get its kids back up the chimneys time.
it's Long*d*endale
I joined Labour, if you were threatened with being knocked off the gravy train you'd been on all those years YOU'D work harder. Wait for the financial megasqueeze starting in 2010 irrelevant of who's in charge. We'll find out how Tameside Labour run things when they've got no-one's money to play with. I foresee plummeting opinion polls and a wipeout in Tameside in 2011.
Yes sir no sir, back to class war. That's all there is when you've run out of ideas.
There are plenty of yobs who could be gainfully employed up chimneys, it would stop them hanging around intimidating the vulnerable, committing crimes and taking drugs.
