Tour Scotland 4K Summer wildlife camera travel video clip of the sight and sounds of a Grey Squirrel reaching for black sunflower seeds on a visit and trip to my cottage garden in Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Rich in energy giving oils, vitamins and protein, black sunflower seeds are ideal for feeding a variety of garden birds and squirrels. As its name suggests, this squirrel typically has a grey coat with white undersides, though the coat colour can also be quite brown at times. Grey squirrels are mainly herbivorous, eating acorns, seeds, hazel nuts, berries, fungi, buds and shoots, and even bark. The grey squirrel was introduced to Great Britain in the middle of the 19th century. There is now an estimated population of 2 million making them much more common than the native red squirrel. They arrived in England from North America and are now one of Britain's most well known and frequently seen mammals, with an estimated population of 2 million. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing
