If you are going to go Tim I'd make it sooner rather than later. When I was there I spoke to one of the volunteers and they had recovered 13 dead squirrels (squirrel pox) up till then. That is not counting any that have not been recovered ie. eaten by scavengers or just dead in inaccesible places.
My partner who used to live in that area was very dissapointed that we saw so few.

A pox on the pox. Lovely picture Robert, lets hope that pictures are not all we have to remember these fellows by in the future.
