Pox outbreaks in native red squirrel populations. Endless. Repeated. Widespread. We need a pox vaccine. @huw4ogmore

💔UPDATE💔🐿️ It’s with great sadness to reveal that the healthy population of red squirrels at Rutter Falls near Appleby have been wiped out by the pox greys carry and spread 😭😢 I was informed this afternoon #nature #redsquirrel I’m devastated for Jim who lives there and needless to say the reds.

If you want to learn more about why etc then look here: https://t.co/qNJbyG3hOT

I’m honestly gutted. I’d see reds often at Rutter Falls. Visitors and locals loved seeing them! 🐿️🐿️😢

Forgive me if I don’t reply much. I’m genuinely upset. I got to know the reds at beautiful Rutter Falls and the place features in my film ‘Cumbrian Red’.

I can’t believe how quickly the reds have been wiped out. I’m gutted but bloody angry too that more isn’t done to inform the wider public by big charities, local authorities and government about a legally protected, iconic and national favourite species! 💔😢🐿️

When will folk realise far and wide such invasive species can be devastating to our habitats and ecosystems??? 🤬🤬

@BBCNews Seems potentially risky as Pine Martens will take red squirrels as well as greys. Effective grey squirrel control at Wallington would be a safer option - however nice it would be to see Pine Martens in the area
