Do they not have a problem with introduced grey squirrels displacing the red on the continent?

Greys haven’t been in Europe as long (1948?), so they haven’t taken over as much. Give them time, though. Or, it might be something to do with pine martens in Europe eating them (we don’t have many of them here).

From Wikipedia:

The red squirrel or Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) is a species of tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus common throughout Eurasia. The red squirrel is an arboreal, omnivorous rodent.

There’s some further more useful information on population etc.. I started reading but was distracted by the pictures (in the Alps there are Black Squirrels!). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_squirrel
