Uh-Oh!

Well, I placed both varieties in a jar, and they studiously ignored each
other.    Today I had the idea of putting them in the camera nest box,
but one of them fell down onto the honeysuckle and disappeared, the
other one is wandering all over the nest box.    :)

Shriek!!!!, they are multiplying as we speak. Tomorrow you will have
millions of Harlequin ladybirds eating you out of house and home. <gg>

Artternoon All. Puleeze don't hurt the squirrel. It is but a poorly
little creature, much maligned. It didn't ask to be brought to Britain,
it was kidnapped and brought to these shores, prolly to make pink
squirrels but the experiment failed and they got their own back by
trying to get rid of their prettier cousins.
I love red squirrels and I hate to see their decline but I can just pop
across the Harbour, in fact I bet my grand-daughter is more than capable
now of sailing me to Brownsea Island in Beenut no trouble. There we can
see a growing population of red squirrels every day if we wish. I hope
the conservationists will one day come up with a solution so that both
grey and red squirrel can live all over the UK in perfect harmony. Until
then, please don't hurt them.

Bobbie;-)

I don't hurt 'em, but I don't feed 'em, if I can 'elp it.

We enjoyed the reds in their sanctuary near Formby, but they have almost
disappeared, thanks (it is alleged) to the pox which is carried by the
greys.      :-(
