Which is what it has been doing only too well, like so many introduced
species, as I explained a while back, hence the need for the cull.


My money would also be on the grey squirrel surviving any likely cull.


As far as I know nobody is suggesting they can't or that they should be reduced so greatly in numbers as to there being a doubt about the survival of greys.
