Ok I'm back in the game while they're all running around burying conkers and acorns in the garden. This one required some ingenuity to retrieve it from under the decking.
Well done PM.
Would you and Young PM please say prayer to the Weather God that invites the prioritised onset of Autumn.
Thank you!

UK 2023 Season commences 30/10. I’m excited but a little nervous after last year’s in-the-woods encounter:

Season for Greys? It is like saying it is the season for romancing when the Bloom is in bloom (its yellow flowers are in bloom all year round).
Anywhere from 3 to 9 a day every day, with the odd gaps as new families move in. still waiting for the Reds to return, but the effect on improving the numbers of song birds and fruit trees is spectacular. A 0.17 HMR is your friend when they are on the ground, and they don't like the trusty 12 bore side by side up them when in the trees. I have put the HMR exit wound on the other side of the animal, for the sake of anyone squeamish that wanders onto this site.
I see places around that advertise their Red squirrels in their hotel brochures but show a picture of a Grey, just because the Greys have got a reddish tinge on parts of their coat in late summer! Even national newspapers do it.
