As a boy I went to a school in a place called Formby just north of Liverpool on the coast with fabulous pine woods and sand dunes which is one of the last strongholds of reds in England. We used to have whole school pine cone fights there. I do hope the squirrels were not too frightened by masses of snotty little boys.<BR/><BR/>Guyguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02346804356499461777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-84322297076475395052009-03-04T12:39:00.000-06:002009-03-04T12:39:00.000-06:00Awesome, awesome news flash in particular!

We await photographic record of these new arrivals with great interest.<BR/><BR/>Down here we only have the common gray squirrels, one of which proved capable of both acrobatics and death-defying leaps to counter every anti-squirrel protection we put on the birdfeeder.Snickering Corpseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11207827630539622815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-91787125812610394942009-03-04T09:54:00.000-06:002009-03-04T09:54:00.000-06:00I think I was eight when I saw my last red Squirre...I think I was eight when I saw my last red Squirrel. Mind you that looks like a BIG version of what we have here.<BR/><BR/>I am also looking forward to repairs on the roof, the lead and sealing put up sixty years ago has now worn to thin to be worth patching. I suspect that the cost will knock my figure budget hard this year. Never mind I have always claimed to like plastics or I could even paint some more of the lead reserve in the garage.<BR/><BR/>Johnjohnpreecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548014163096067684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-10996824951752878702009-03-04T08:41:00.000-06:002009-03-04T08:41:00.000-06:00Stokes - I'm old enough to remember seeing red squ...Stokes - I'm old enough to remember seeing red squirrels (the small version) as a kid in Richmond Park (London). I don't think there are any left in England at all now but I think they still survive in parts of Scotland. Sadly the greys booted them all out...<BR/><BR/>IanStrykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33020106.post-56616708102469942232009-03-03T17:16:00.000-06:002009-03-03T17:16:00.000-06:00Being from the west, I've never seen any red squir...Being from the west, I've never seen any red squirrels. The ones on the California coast where I grew up were gray.<BR/><BR/>The ones here on Vancouver Island are black . . . which looks very strange to my eyes.<BR/><BR/>I know how you feel about the unknown surprises that will be with the RSMs . . . and by the way do you know what "RSM" stood for? "Rusty Scabbard Miniatures" . . . at least according to an article I found on MagWeb when I belonged.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I'd urge Irwin Amadeus II to worry about what sort of nasty surprises those awful Stagonians will spring on him . . . they really are not nice at all . . . in fact they are downright VILE!<BR/><BR/><BR/>-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07595975572873838050noreply@blogger.com
