A prolific and adaptable species, the eastern gray squirrel has been introduced to, and thrives in Britain, where it has spread across the country and has largely displaced the native red squirrel, Sciurus vulgaris. The Grey Squirrel spread rapidly across England and then became established in both Wales and parts of southern Scotland. On mainland Britain, it has almost entirely displaced the populations of native red squirrels. Squirrels have been known to pretend to bury the object if they feel that they are being watched. They do this by preparing the spot as usual, for instance digging a hole or widening a crack, miming the placement of the food, while actually concealing it in their mouths, and then covering up the "cache" as if they had deposited the object. Perhaps that is what is happening here.
