Red squirrel

Yesterday I saw a red squirrel for the second (and then the third) time. :o)

(Note for foreign readers: Competition from the invasive American grey squirrel has displaced red squirrels from almost all of the UK. There's still a few places left where red squirrels are to be found, but the only ones I've seen have been on the Continent, in Prague and Berlin.)

We used to get red squirrels at home but more usually, you could tell by the lack of damage.

If you see discarded nut shells but no bark stripped from trees, your squirrels are red, not grey. Grey squirrels destroy trees.
