It's Red Squirrel Week! Red squirrels are one of our most iconic mammals. Once widespread throughout the UK they can now only be found in Scotland, north England, and Northern Ireland, with isolated populations in Wales, Merseyside, and islands off England’s southern coast. Red squirrels have a mainly vegetarian diet that includes seeds, hazelnuts and green acorns, fungus, bark, and sapwood. They also occasionally take animal prey such as young birds and eggs.
