No its not by immigrants from Eastern Europe or from the Indian sub-continent or from the Middle East but from across the pond.

They are here, they’ve established a bridgehead and woe betide any grey squirrel (and red I suppose) that gets in their way.

How the black squirrel crossed the Atlantic is a bit of a mystery but they are here, they are ‘orinary and do not tolerate any other squirrels in their newly established patch.

I’ve borrowed the picture from the Internet.
