The Squirrel in the picture, no clue what the american name
for it is, is the species we got over here. They are pretty rare
though, I see about 1 per month.

Hillbilly, thanks for your picture. In Britain, there are two species of squirrel..red squirrels look very much like your picture, may be the same species. They are very rare, and only survive in small sections of coniferous forest (a lot of them in Scotland, I believe), where they seem to be better at surviving than grey squirrels. The greys were introduced from North America, and they're everywhere. They're a real pest, because populations are high and do huge damage to trees.

I'd be interested to know if the grey squirrel has got over to Sweden yet?
