Unfortunately the Grey Squirrel has wiped out the smaller Red Squirrel from most of our woodlands in North Yorkshire. They spend a lot of time on the woodland floor and normally feed on the ground. They are extremely agile though, and can often be seen running around amongst the branches of the trees. They are a little larger than the Red Squirrels. During the winter months they can become somewhat of a garden pest, especially when they start raiding the bird feeders, in search of a convenient meal!
