What a magnificent creature as i have always thought the British Red Squirrel is far more beautiful than the American tree rat which we have around Caerphilly. This unwanted visitor from  America should be exterminated A.S.A.P before we lose this beauty for ever.

we're so lucky, we live near formby squirrel park, lots of red squirrels running around, babies sometimes, they'll eat nuts from your hand  ;D

Saw the Ospreys, looked for the other 2, Crossbills and Crested Tits.  Had a look at the Board and no Crossbills had been spotted that morning.  Pity, I was all geared up with bins. to have a look.  Great place to visit in a beautiful area.

Not sad Debster, just a shame that the Greys have taken over most of the UK with just the odd patch of Reds.  I know what I would rather see.
