Squirrel Out of Sync

Half term gave me time to think about everything that went unblogged. A bad omission was the first sighting of a red squirrel since our feeding boxes went up. Georgia handed in the first report about two weeks ago. Those boxes actually seem worthwhile now. Last week's Observer magazine had an entire feature on red squirrels, and some rather more violent ways of keeping down the numbers among the greys. Other good news is that some red squirrels seem to be developing immunity to the dreaded squirrel pox spread by the greys. Keep an eye out for more red squirrel sightings, and pick up a report sheet outside the technology room. Be as exact as you can about where you have seen the squirrel.
