Report any squirrel sightings

This is Red Squirrel Week in Scotland. Reporting a sighting is one of the simplest things that anyone can do to help protect our red squirrels.

Autumn is a great time of year for squirrel spotting — they are often more visible than usual as they gather food, preparing for winter.

The Great Scottish Squirrel Survey lasts until 27 September. Report your sightings of red and grey squirrels to provide the project with a snapshot of the situation: https://scottishsquirrels.org.uk/great-scottish-squirrel-survey/.

Last year more than 600 people reported 828 squirrel sightings in just one week.

Why am I especially interested in this? I am a red squirrel champion for Aberdeenshire Council.
