Sciurus carolinensis
Introduced into the UK from the USA in the late 18th early 19th Century have now displace most of the UK's native Red Squirrel
Woodland and some UK back gardens
This rather fit looking Grey Squirrel sported quite a reddish coat . Sadly in a matter of days it suddenly passed away. I wondered if it had the squirrel pox has the squirrel still had the urge to eat and drink but unable to keep it's balance. When I went to rescue the squirrel and place in a box I was so badly bitten by fleas or bugs I had to go to my local Doctors Surgery. Coincidental the nurse that I saw explained that a squirrel had died in similar circumstances in her back garden/yard I did ring the RSPCA for advice as I was worried about the spread of disease to other animals but unfortunately I never had the promised return phone call
