I have, and it's not so amusing when it's your own pebbledash you can hear clattering
onto the patio. Kinda nice to see, anyway:-) We have south-facing pebbledash and
often catch squirls sunbathing on it. One even sticks his head round the window to
see what I'm upto in he-)

Not actually seen any of the grey buggers round here yet, I'm almost
hoping they're not as abundant or have all moved into the cities where
there's all that free food.
Ours appear to be mixed-race squirrels. The size and colouration vary quite a lot. It
seems somehow appropriate round he-)
