[QUOTE="Kathar1na, post: 1075017, member: 15378"] Squirrels are a synanthropic species. I had to look up the word since I did not know what they are called in English. Synanthropes are animals that can change their traditional habits to adapt to urban neighbourhoods and to the presence of humans, i.e. blackbirds changing from shy woodland birds to cheeky garden birds, foxes living in urban areas, red squirrels being fed by walkers. They loose their natural shyness. As delightful as this may be, it is a sad sign of the increasing loss and destruction of their natural habitats in Europe. I am now so old that I can see the change: a fox marching along the sea promenade in the early morning hours in a town in England, foxes living behind my neighbour's garden across the road and me noticing for the first time ever fox droppings in my own garden this year, and, recently and only once, even seeing a red squirrel near the house. Unthinkable 50 years ago. Seen in this context, it may not be surprising that pilgrims have observed red squirrels in the popular park area near Logroño. [/QUOTE]
