   That superglue stuff really works well !

   Are the black squigels good like the red ones or bad like the grey ?

   I had to google him when I got back and the gist of the articles are that they are a more aggressive and dominant mutation of the greys, with bags more testosterone. You need two genes to mutate to get pure black, only one you get brown black ( which I think this one must be ) .

   in cambridgeshire they now make up more than 50% of the squirrel population !

   he was very cute..and certainly has the testosterone as he was in the tiger part of the safari trail ;-)

    I never managed to get a pic in time to convince an old housemate they were real. Then one day, without knowing the feud, my mum caught one on camera.... will have to dig out the pic and upload.

    My mum has sent me the pics - from 2006, taken in north Cambridge. To think my housemate taunted me by asking if they said 'miaow'... www.flickr.com/photos/muskehound/3234416429/
