A grey squirrel which may have ridden a train to the home of Wales’ largest red squirrel population has been captured, following fears it could have killed off the local species.

The animal was spotted by a member of the public on Anglesey in mid-February who reported it to Red Squirrels Trust Wales after weeks on the loose.

Yes, I think you’re correct. Though they do look very similar.
