Claudy Squirrel
The grey squirrel is a native of the deciduous forests of North America. In the late 1800s and early 1900s it was considered to be a decorative addition to the native fauna and many were released at various sites throughout Britain. A handful of grey squirrels were released in Ireland at Castle Forbes, County Longford in 1911 and have since colonised much of Ireland in less than 100 years.
