Have you ever seen a red squirrel?

[Curlewwoohoo]

Please tell me where! I've been to the Isle of Wight and looked in all the places I was told about, no luck. Same to a place in Scotland they apparently live in the garden, nowt. Please help me see one!

Brown sea Island in Poole harbour.

Yes, on Brownsea Island. We camped there and saw loads.

Tresco gardens in the Isles of Scilly.

Come and visit me in the USA, loads round here..but I dont know if they are the exact same species as in the UK 😁

I’ve seen them on the Isle of Wight and Brownsea Island.

Formby red squirrel reserve

Yes in the Lake District. Near Ullswater.

Yes, Centerparcs in the Lake District.

well, they are wild, you can never guarantee a sighting of a wild animal.

We saw one on Brownsea Island too but only for a split second. Don't make a special trip if that's your only goal!

I have seen some in captivity too.

Has anyone else seen black squirrels?

Anglesey Newborough, Lake District railway walk just near Keswick.

Yes at the National Trust, Formby.

Yes. Anglesey, Merseyside

Loads of them in Northumberland. Go to Howick Hall and you are almost guaranteed to see them. I see them every time we are in the Cheviots. My friend gets them in her garden just outside of Morpeth.

I saw one in Grasmere in Lake District in July this year.

No,lots of signs on IoW but didnt see any.

Did have an albino (grey) one that lived in my school grounds, that was quite interesting.

On the bedroom windowsill. Lives on the edge of the Lake District at the time.

Brownsea Island, Scottish highlands and Formby. Love Red Squirrels!

Yes in Scotland but a long time ago when they still existed there. Not sure if they still do? Don't think I've seen one on IOW?

Once in the Black Forest and once in Scotland. They’re really little!

I've seen lots in various places in Scotland.

I saw 11 on Brownsea Island last month, despite it raining. Never seen them in Formby. A lot of the locals are saying that they're no longer in Formby as there are so few (if any) sightings in recent times.

Holland!
