Grey squirrels in Fife



Grey squirrels are larger than the native red squirrels, and they tend to spend more time on the ground, so they are easier to spot than the red squirrel in the video on this blog. This one was spotted while out looking at woods where Kirkcaldy children can collect seed as a part of the Growing Up With Trees project. Fortunately the squirrel pox virus, which greys carry but reds die from, has not yet reached Fife.
