I learnt the other day that it is one of the few places to still have Red Squirrels. Good for them!

That's encouraging. Was no-one stupid enough to bring the greys across the channel or something?

"It is illegal to bring a grey squirrel into red squirrel territory. The penalty is 2 years imprisonment or £5,000 fine. It is also illegal to release a grey anywhere, once it is caught."

If a grey is found the council trap it and take it away.

This Isle is racist, we need to import some Grey's to enrich the enviroment.

I grew up on the Isle of Wight, but I've been away at university for the past 3 years. Not indenting to return there, if at all possible. It's kind of a shithole unless you're either very young or very old.
