getting back to squirreldz. fuck greys. reds are the awesomest though. beautiful little things. greys have almost taken over the entire country. I think they're down as far south as mitchelstown at this stage. little bastards. fucking it up for the lovely, littler reds. I saw a feature on nationwide (you'd almost swear I watch that show deliberately) a while back about this forest farmer guy somewhere up the country. anyway, he was having major trouble with grey squirrels wrecking his trees to death, so he had to start trapping and killing them. basically, castch 'em in a box and blast 'em with a shotgun. but in an admirable waste-not-want-not move, he would also eat said squirrels in a delicious-looking casserole.

red squirrels are protected, where I believe there is an active campaign to scale back, or even eradicate the grey squirrel. basically where greys thrive, reds suffer. boo. there's a website where you can report grey squirrel sightings. can't find it at tho mo.

good spot to see reds: fota island/wildlife park. it's one of the only red squirrel sanctuaries in the country at this stage. aw...

geesse are way bigger pricks than swans imho. they're funny though. honk!

Has anyone seen a black squirrel?
