Grey squirrel population density
2 Answers
Does anyone know the typical population density of grey squirrels in mixed deciduous/pine woodland in the south east of England? I would estimate that food supply is better than average on account of all the bird feeders in adjacent gardens.

I found this, which might help, but it is still a bit vague!
The Forestry Commission has reported densities of 15 per hectare (ha) in the Forest of Dean, but in ideal woodland conditions, where no control has been or is carried out, this number could probably be greatly exceeded.
I dont know about the bird-feeders - as squirrels are very territorial, but I agree, the more food there is, the more population can be sustained.
