When did you last see.....

[Return of the Rev]

A RED SQUIRREL IN SUSSEX!

 

[Max Paper]

Christ man who gives a shit?

 

[pasty]

About the same time I last saw some white dog poo

 

[8ace]

Never seen one in Sussex rev

 

[ees complicated no?]

I think the real question should be ... When was the last time you saw us have more than 1 shot on target !!!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The Grey BASTARDS have shat all over them.

Marginalised British Red Squirrels have been confined by the proliferation of the successfully aggressive American Gray Squirrel.
Reds are to be found sanctuaried (culling makes sure of the encroaching of grays) in the North West of England, mostly, and are quite rarely seen even there.

In Sweden, I have only seen Red Squirrels. They are the coolest.
Grays ought to become more of a dish served regularly on skewers, and present at the meat counter.
That would sort them, and feed us.

You also get red squirrels on the Isle of Wight as the grey ones haven't learned how to catch the hovercraft or the ferry

When did you last see a milk machine down the park? sixpence a cartoon

There haven't been any red squirrels in Sussex (let alone England) for a looooong time, they were displaced by the larger, stronger Grey squirrel who was brought back to England from America around 130 years ago.
Red squirrels are now found only in heavily wooded parts of Northern Scotland and some parts of Wales, but predominantly Ireland.
I knew A-Level Biology case studies would be useful one day.

I have only ever seen one red squirrel, and that was in France.

I last saw white dog shit sometime around the late 70's. I always assumed for some strange reason that it was poodle shit, not quite sure why.

In Australia people are asked to kill cane toads if they spot one. We should do the same over here with the grey pests!

Brownsea Island just off Bournemouth is the only part of the country that isn't inhabited by grey squirrels, solely red fellas.

A RED SQUIRREL IN SUSSEX!

Tilgate Forest aboout 4 years ago, in caged enclosure!

I thought there was a line drawn in the sand, so to speak, somewhere around Cumbria ? So the very northern tips of England and Isle of Wight still have them ?



Edit: Sorry, I see what you mean. Total absence of greys. My mistake.

 

[Dav]

I've seen Red Squirrels in Wiesbaden, Germany. Much better than Greys.



True Story.

Sorry to be so pedantic but I think you mean Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour. It really gets my goat when Bournemouth gets the kudos for things that are actually in Poole!

I saw the occasional Red one when I was living in The Lake District.
You omitted that region - but I believe it's being seen a preservation area for Reds.

 

[Tricky Dicky]

I didn't think there were any in the wild in Sussex any more. The Isle of Wight or the Cumbria area are the last remaining patches I understood. shame, as much as I like watching the greys in my garden, the reds are much prettier.

 

[aberllefenni]

Ashdown forest in the early 70's. Didn't see another one anywhere in the UK until April this year in Herefordshire.
