That came up this week on radio4 I randomly heard. Also just call it activity not physical activity, as it can put some off.

the Guardian article was a bit on the long side for me, but when I read ‘The telly was off the wall, plates were smashed,' I'm thinking there's no chance that they left teenagers home alone for Easter or something, a Facebook/ friends of friends party ensued and now the squirrels are getting the blame?
The little grey bandits even drank all the cooking brandy!
Where is hawkinspeter with a picture of a squirrel in a smoking jacket and a wide brimmed brandy glass?
The marketing trolls from Brewdog got him.
My wife is upset with me because, when we were on the Isle of Wight last week, I saw a red squirrel and she didn't.
Been back here time and again and the red critters have been a no-show

fool me once..l
Well here's a pic you can show her if that helps
Apparently there's a genetic difference between the west-side and east-side squirrels there. https://onthewight.com/isle-of-wights-red-squirrels-scientists-reveal-surprising-findings/
Thanks. I suspect the pic would be just rubbing it in. My sighting was on the edge of Appley Park in Ryde, so I guess that was a West Side Squirrel.
Coincidentally, I saw this map on twitter today.
A shocking change but 'twitter' is no data provenance so please advise the source?
Free speech cuts both ways; has no limit and has no weight.
@amazingmap on twitter, but otherwise source not given.
I've never seen on on the isle of wight either, but I did see one in the lake district last year.
I've seen a few on Brownsea Island (Poole harbour), greys haven't managed to get there yet.
Mrs HawkinsPeter and I both saw a gang of red squirrels in the lake district a few years ago. They were in a fenced of bit of garden by Allan Bank.
