red squirrel

With the population of red squirrels falling massively, we try to suppor them by following the guidelines set out by Save Our Squirrels, an organisation set up by the Northumberland Wildlife Trust. They are mainly found in areas of Scotland, Northern England and Western Wales, and some of our neighbours have been lucky enough to spot them around our village, which perhaps isn’t so surprising as our accommodation is located right on the edge of the Northumberland National Park.

We have feeders set up in our garden with nuts and occasionally apples and other fruits. We hope to see some ourselves one day!
