Answers: grey squirrels are a pest in Britain. You are relatively right in your Q they are not squirrels they are rats. Some twerp brought some over from USA. they incursion song birds nest to steal eggs and even newly hatch chicks. they are vermin, they almost destroyed our superb red squirrel. they should all be poisoned by our councils as the adjectives rat is.
