Red Squirrels ... at the double
EXCITING news on the squirrel front, it looks as though the little red critter I snapped (right) earlier this month now has a mate. He/she is much more elusive but I will try my best over the coming days to get the pair together as proof I'm not seeing double.
The last thing I want now is the return of the grey squirrels that carry a pox virus which is deadly to their red counterparts.
Without the Red Squirrel Survival Trust, a charity designed to ensure the conservation and protection of these animals, these entertaining little mammals would've been extinct by now.
