i believe they have tried to introduce black squirrels into the uk but our native ones are the red squirrels. these were decimated by the grey ones who are not our native types, our red are smaller.
That is interesting realspeed, I have never seen a red squirrel. I would love to see one. that one in your picture looks gray....
I saw one once that was gray and I thought it looked like it had a brown tail. So cute.
Unfortunately I don't get squirrels in my garden, the only things that feed from the bird feeder are 2 mahoosive fat pigeons and a family of starlings that are nesting in the guttering.
Lots of them over the road in the nature reserve though, but only greys, no reds or blacks.
