We have a grey squirrel which regulalrly comes to the bird table trying
to
get at the fat balls and peanuts, usually unsuccessfully. However, the
litte
rascal has now found it's way under our roof tiles in to the attic and
pays
a visit at about 4 am every morning. It can be heard scratching away in
the
attic - waking us up in the process.

Any suggestions for a (humane) solution?


I suggest you try and discover his means of access to your roof space,
and
then have it blocked off. Further, you might consider stopping putting
out
food they like to eat, which, obviously, attracts them to your property.


How does he know its Squirrels? we have scratching and very loud at
times but this is from the nesting starlings.

I don't know how he knows it's squirrels. Perhaps he's been up there and had
a look? If in doubt, he could rig up a surveillance camera and IR activated
light to see what is moving about - and how/where it gets in.
