Herr Mike in Deutschland

I was strolling along Wichernstrasse the other day when I saw two squirrels playfully scampering around, chasing each other up and down the trunks of the silver birch trees which line the paths.
What really caught my attention though was they weren't the usual grey variety you usuallly see in England but the rarer red varietys.
And funnily, when I got into my building and put on the radio (over the internet) the discussion was about red squirrels, or rather the lack of them due to squirrel pox and the evil grey squirrels taking their habitat. The DJ then asked for listeners to get in touch and let him know if you'd seen a red squirrel to find out where they were hanging around.

I wasn't going to spend a quid texting the bloke but for his information (and yours) you can find red squirrels in Erlangen and probably elsewhere in Germany. I'm not sure about squirrel pox, I think the little guys just wanted some decent beer.
