Talkback: Red squirrels

kaycurtis

Dear Richard Jones, wouldn't we all love the safety of this dear little creature our own native squirrel but nothing is being done about the grey perril wich causes so much damage to everything from trees to bulbs and bird feeders, they ensconce themselves in our roofs and not to mention that they are the reason for the demise of our squirrel nutkin.

Hi kaycurtis, I live in Weardale in the north pennines and the red squirrel population is growing due to two reasons, firstly landowners are shooting the greys and secondly the reds are becoming immune to the virus carried by the greys.
