Re: Do Squirrels jump from tree to tree ?

This post reminds me - I was in Southampton last weekend, at a building on the edge of a housing estate but with woods behind and the nature was amazing.

There were magpies, a Jay (how gorgeous are they!) and 6 grey squiggles who were larking about. As well as watching their acrobatics (yup - they jump from tree to tree), there was one squiggle who would not shut up - and until then I had no idea they made noises! It was looking down into one of the house gardens and just didnt stop going on and on which had me in hysterics. 5 minutes later a cat appeared on the fence so I assume this sound was a sort of squirrel warning?

Next time I go there I'm taking my camera for sure
