tatsblisters 7,957 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Never seen one in the wild though with the boom in grey squirrel numbers around me maybe they would be a welcome introduction though i don't know how they would fair in deciduous woodland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I heard a report on my local radio station that they've been spotted several times recently in the New Forest so I guess they're happy with the deciduous. There are certainly plenty of squirrels around here for them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Greyman 25,295 Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 They are the latest animal to be adopted by the rewinding loons, no consultation with landowners, just breed them faster then they get killed and keep turning them loose, has worked with otters and polecats so they won’t stop 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway he set a cage trap on the inside of his hen house through the pop hole which it entered through. He set a camera watching it. He wasn't aiming for pine Martin's, he presumed it was a mink or fox cub. Anyway at the end of the week he checked the camera and it had visited 4 times, each time looking through the pop hole....it wouldn't go in though. Clever sod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
