Living in an area where we have Red Squirrels as well as Grey Squirrels we have recently been receiving regular reports of Red Squirrel sightings where Red Squirrels have not been reported recently or in deed for many years. We have also seen an explosion of grey squirrels generally and also in areas recently largely devoid of greys. It is now two breeding seasons since Warfarin was banned for use against Squirrels. Now that Warfarin hoppers have not been used to deliver Warfarin we are seeing an explosion of Squirrels both Red and Grey, does this show that the native Red Squirrel population was being suppressed by the Forestry use of Warfarin. Time will tell whether the sightings of single Red Squirrels in new ares will result in new breeding populations. Just shows how important it is to up the effort in grey control to make space for natural Red expansion.
