Yesterday we had another visitor to our feeders – an Eastern Gray Squirrel.
When I lived in the Netherlands, I missed seeing squirrels. The European Red Squirrel was not a common visitor to back yards and gardens in the urban areas of the Randstad where we lived.
On a couple of occasions we did spot squirrels while out on nature walks, but they were pretty far away. Looking back I am not even sure if they were Red Squirrels or Eastern Gray Squirrels, which as an invasive species are in fact wiping out their Red counterparts in the UK and other parts of Europe.
Now after living in a squirrel-rich area for a few months (I think the record in my parent’s back yard is upwards of 15 squirrels), I can’t believe I’m actually missing squirrels again!
