Agile and fast across open ground , this species comes alive in it’s true home , up in the trees. The ability to run both up and down tree trunks, jump from branch to branch makes the grey a firm favourite. Easy to recognise with it’s long busy tail, short muzzle and rounded ears the grey is both bigger and heavier that it’s native Red cousin. Squirrels are diurnal, with peak activity during early morning and late afternoon. They don’t hibernate but do become less active during the winter months.
The Grey Squirrel was introduced to the UK buy wealthy landowners from North American between 1876 and 1929 , originally as a decorative addition to their country estates. Since then it has spread over much of England and Wales and much of southern Scotland , pushing back the Red Squirrel into smaller pockets of land in England and the Highlands in Scotland.
The Grey Squirrel has few natural predators in the UK. This has helped it’s rapid population growth. The Grey Squirrel is responsible for the displacement of our native Red Squirrels. One of the main factors is that the Grey tends to be larger and stronger than it’s Red cousin and can therefore compete for a larger share of the available food, resulting in a lower survival rate for the Red.

A shot of the Little Female drinking from a water puddle in the woods.
Didn't see her yesterday.
Only saw one fox.
That was the young male fox.
He has an injury to his right hind leg.
He holds it up when walking, but, when he decides to run, Wow! he can really take off.
I have seen injuries like this on some of the other fox.
So, I am hoping it heals up quickly.
Several years ago the Little Female had an injured hind leg that was pretty bad and it was weeks before she started putting any weight on it.
This seems to show up more during mating season.
I have seen some of the fox chasing other fox and they try to bite the hind legs.
Camera Settings: f/5.6 - 1/320 - 238mm - ISO 4000

He got a drink then looked straight at me in the window. See? I did it. Only took a couple of days for the birds to get used to the new fountain.
