We saw a couple in Scotland at an RSPB site and have seen them at Formby at an NT site. Never spotted one on Anglesey, that would be wonderful. Hope the pine martens can help them as they too are being introduced again around the country.:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-57017812089220351632022-09-26T13:47:07.716+01:002022-09-26T13:47:07.716+01:00The park has been there a few years now but the sq...The park has been there a few years now but the squirrel project is only two or three years old.

We've seen little reds in Scotland near Dumfries and also at Formby in Lancashire where they are more conker brown than red.

It's very special when you see the squirrels in their natural habitat and it's good to know that these ones will eventually be released into other colonies:)Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733563829902335223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-39839850695144094662022-09-26T13:01:53.369+01:002022-09-26T13:01:53.369+01:00They are gorgeous little creatures:)They are gorgeous little creatures:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-55126559681620791552022-09-25T20:02:46.090+01:002022-09-25T20:02:46.090+01:00Aw, your photos are wonderful.

I have seen them in England, Anglesey, Scotland and on Jersey but not for some years now as you say they are so localised especially in England. I have heard that pine martens can help them as they prey more on grey squirrels than the reds who are too nimble to be caught. We don't go to the Lake District twice a year any more but I do know on more recent visits we were seeing far less red squirrels there than on visits many years ago.Ragged Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090463834740346114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11621908.post-83070169895226671702022-09-25T07:29:00.274+01:002022-09-25T07:29:00.274+01:00I didn't know about this enclosed area in the ...I didn't know about this enclosed area in the Peak District Wildlife Park where you can observe red squirrels.

I’ve been told I need to look out for them first thing in the morning when they are collecting food. A little too early for me most days lol!
