Recently I found one athletically balanced on my feeder chomping the nuts. At head height this one seemed quite a bit bigger than I'd anticipated. It certainly had me "checking my stride" when I got close and he hadn't budged.

Feeders have since been replaced by squirrel-proof ones from The Range (£3.99) but the birds don't seem to be bothering with them as much as the previous ones.

Just found out the Welsh word for squirrel is wiwer.

From now on they are wiwers in my house.

One of the kids made a bird feeder in school and it was wrecked within hours of me taking this photo.

They take great pleasure in digging little holes in your lawn as well. Little fuckers. Deader the better.

Yes, little holes but you should see the huge holes that badgers dig in our lawns and if that's not enough, they then take an enormous dump in them!

No, just me sticking up for squirrels, then I had second thoughts, I don't want to argue over them.

I was watching one out my garden the other day, I think they are brilliant.

One destroyed a plastic bird feeder I had, so had to upgrade to an expensive metal one. Squirrels look cute, but the introduced North American grey squirrel should be culled in the UK, so that the native red can make a comeback. I remember seeing reds in the Bont when I was a kid in the 70s.

Squirrels are just rats with better PR.

:lol: Hang on, you can't cull all the squirrels in the Uk, just for one twat wrecking your bird feeder, foxes are a nuisance in my garden, but I would never advocate a cull of them.

There are millions of squirrels. A cull of half of them won’t do any harm.

I love animals butty bach, even grey squirrels, but it is undeniable that they outcompete our native red species, and also infect them with squirrel pox. They already eradicate greys in certain areas of the UK, where red squirrels are being protected, like Ynys Mon. Give me a lovely, native red over its bullish grey cousin every day.

It would if you culled all the lady squirrels.

Great idea. Even better.

I once worked with a girl who thought that a grey squirrel was just an old red squirrel
