Re: Brownsea Red Squirrel
I went on Sunday and they are about. Well done for this shot Stan.
Strange to think that probably 99% of the UK population will never see one in the wild.

Re: Brownsea Red Squirrel
Thanks guys
did you get any shots ?I went on Sunday and they are about.
I was lucky with this I think - as you know the light up by the villa is usually rubbish and I took a number of shots earlier in the day but although the body was exposed right, the tail was completely blown out with no chance of rescue. This one was taken later just as i was about to call it a day when the sun had moved around a bit

Re: Brownsea Red Squirrel
They were really up for it on Sunday. Quite happy to pose, but on one occasion there were four on the same tree. Not sure whether it was play or war, but there was so much pandemonium I just couldn't track them.
Like yours, all were light tailed and eared at this time of year.
