Red Squirrel?

WindSock · 2011-05-17 20:40:13

Took this snap of a squirrel in the Botanics earlier this year. I am not sure if it is a red one, as I have seen lots of greys that seem to have reddish pathes on them. This one looked a bit different though...could it be my first red one in the wild? Oops, sorry about size. Thought I resized that bad boy.

Such a pity,because they're a beautiful looking creature,as are the Grey Squirrels,but I guess it ain't their fault they're here,is it?

Its not their fault but all the same they have to be treated like any other non-native invasive threat to our natural heritage such as Rhododendron, Giant Hogweed etc. Hence the current bounty on both species.

Although it kills me to say it,you're right!
