Now that's a smart idea! Several years ago there was a big hoo-ha here in Scotland because Scottish Natural Heritage decided to get rid of the hedgehogs on the Isle of North Uist in the Outer Hebrides.
The British Hedgehog Preservation Society decided to capture and relocate the hedgehogs and managed to prove that it was a successful venture with the relocated hedgehogs managing very well on mainland Scotland.
So perhaps the next step is a Squirrel Relocation Project. I have visions of grey squirrels boarding British Airway planes...!
Interesting post! Send us a few squirrels -- we've got plenty of room in the mountains!

Thanks for linking up your bird feeder! Intriguing that the paint can keeps the squirrels from climbing up.
