Today has to be one of the most unusual talks Trevor has ever given, through a conservatory window. The screen, laptop and projector were set up early before anyone arrived. Then he had to wait in the conservatory and give his talk through the window to ensure the residents safety.
Great people and staff though. Very friendly and helpful.
It's good to be back in the swing of giving talks despite the extra precautions being taken.

It is quite common for young squirrels to run up telegraph poles, street lights, drain pipes, or even up brick walls out of fear after being chased by a predator, dog, cat, children or after having a near miss with a car. They will often climb to the top and stay there frightened to come down for up to 48 hours. They will often sit there chuntering away swearing in squirrel language at anyone going past. The worse thing anyone can do is put a ladder up and try and catch them, as they are likely to jump from the top and this can cause serious life threatening injuries. Despite not having access to food or water for 48 hours they rarely develop problems as a result of being there for so long. They need time to calm down, and build up their confidence before they climb down (normally during the night). Best thing you can do is observe from a distance. If you can see an injury or you are concerned that the squirrel is caught up then please call straight away. ...
