People in the U.K. have all the fun…
The Scottish Squirrel Survey is seeking more volunteers to help with mapping out red squirrel populations.
The survey’s website – which is at www.scottishsquirrelsurvey.co.uk – has more details on how to volunteer and on local groups.
The Highlands are seen as a stronghold for red squirrels, which have suffered decline due to the destruction of their homes, disease and competition from non-native grey squirrels.
Information gathered by the volunteers will help efforts to protect native reds from any incursions by greys.
