webber Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 This will be the fourth year that we have kept a running count of GREY SQUIRREL kills. The GREY SQUIRREL is an alien species to the British Isles, and causes considerable damage to British forestry, and wild birds. Damage is also caused to property, which can be dangerous as electricity cables and propane gas hoses are gnawed into. GREY SQUIRRELS carry the squirrel pox virus, which kills Red Squirrels within a few days and is decimating our native species. One female grey can produce 18 kits in one year, so even one dead grey can and will make a difference. May I therefore encourage all PW members to do whatever they can to reduce the GREY SQUIRREL population. For the purposes of our count, it matters not if the GREYS are shot or trapped, please ensure safe shots, and humane kills. Please try to take part in our National Day Saturday 13th. February, and remember to post your kills here. webber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dicehorn Posted January 9, 2010 Report Share Posted January 9, 2010 Been a bit of a gap on this thread - expect the greys are keeping a low profile what with this freeze up. Anyway I shot one last Monday (before the snow got this far south) on one of my bird feeders' So..........10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
