Grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis)
A non-native species in the UK, a migrant from America, looks cute enough but they have had a disastrous impact on our native Red squirrel. The greys compete wit the reds for food and, the greys carry a virus called squirrelpox, and although harmless to the greys, it is lethal for the reds

Red squirrel at Mountstewart. I never have much luck here with the red squirrels. Unlike the Donegal red squirrels that are so cheeky that I am sure would nick your camera if you didn’t pay attention! But I liked this guy's ear tufts.

Always ready to move on and explore for more food, they certainly keep very busy.
My friends Dave Denby, Dave Sutton and I decided to return to Millers Wood Nature Reserve Sussex, almost a year from our last visit.
This time the weather was light rain and overcast but it did not dampen our spirits as there was plenty of wildlife to photograph.
