The grey squirrels on the south coast of Hampshire are having food
problems. It's winter and there is little food - raiding the local bird
table is not an option. A big seagull guards the food for the smaller
birds. What can the greys do? Someone finds a video on the animal social
media 'Metube' which claims that the trees growing green acorns grow
them all year round - an evergreen food source!
The problem is that greys aren't allowed on the Isle of Wight where the
trees grow. The red squirrels and humans don't want them there either,
as Rufus, red squirrel leader, tells them in no uncertain terms!
The greys take to boats and try many weird and wonderful ideas to cross
the great blue water that separates them. But the reds fight back big
time. Who will win?
