Invasion

[jambutty]

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.

Just looked out my window .... counted six of them .... fat little buggers too .... can see them running along the power lines ... my cats stay lean and healthy chasing them ... except for Sadie who is a lot like Garfield.

I didn't know we had them in this country either.

More foreign invaders attacking our indigenous Squirrel Nutkin.

Mind you, after doing a quick search I came across this.

BBC NEWS | World | Europe | Russian squirrel pack 'kills dog'

Not only is our native red squirrel at risk, so are our pets. As these black heathens hunt in packs, and have even attacked dogs!
