Red Squirrel @ Whinfell Forest

TheTamshee: spent some quality time strolling the tracks through Whinfell Forest in search of the ever exploring Red Squirrel or Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris) they are a species of tree squirrel which are thriving among the pine trees in this region of the lake district. The red squirrel is an arboreal, omnivorous rodent whose numbers have decreased drastically in recent years, in part because of the introduction of the eastern grey squirrel (Sciurus carolinensis) Check out Tamshee's Photography / Flickr photostream for more sets.
