Squirrels at the double

DOUBLE TROUBLE: Reds at play 

And here is the proof I promised you a few postings back - two red squirrels in the same shot. I caught them just before sun down today playing in their favourite tree.
 But just a couple of days earlier a big, fat grey squirrel was hanging around the same tree and regulars callers to this blog known they present a deadly problem to the reds.
 Greys carry something called Squirrel Pox and while they're immune the red squirrel isn't.
 The dilemma over intervention, or not, provoked quite a lot of feedback with the majority reaching the conclusion that Nature should be allowed to take its course ... personally, I'm not sure sure.
