Red Squirrels are in our fairytales, children’s stories, our art, our culture, hearts and minds. Wildlife Ark Trust is raising money to complete the squirrel pox vaccine + save our Red Squirrels from extinction. Please RT to help save #RedSquirrels https://t.co/jq4zRPywNJ

I've long worried about this, and it is starting to happen: Some students aren't sure which way is "clockwise" anymore. (The screenshot below is from a student's answer on a test I just gave, in which the word "counterclockwise" was used.) #DeathOfAnalog

@seed_ball #Arachtober is in #SquirrelAwarenessMonth ? Win-win!!

@m13ldb That red squirrel is gorgeous! (So is the kingfisher if course, but little red squirrels always steal my heart) - you have fantastic talent!

[Jane Shivers 👻🎃 @Jane_Chiz]

@AleSquirrels Those of us who have never seen a red in real life (because they were gone from here before I was born) are enormously grateful to you for all the work you do to protect the ones we still have. Need the vaccine and grey contraceptive projects to come through fast.

@vickimead Oh my paws and whiskers! Look at him scamper! ☺️🐿🥰

[Jane Shivers 👻🎃 @Jane_Chiz]

@motherwellwild1 O! Me too - those misty frosty mornings with filigree webs everywhere are like a fairytale ☺️

[Jane Shivers 👻🎃 @Jane_Chiz]

@motherwellwild1 That’s just horrible - no need to torture and destroy them when they’ll happily move to a dark corner or be escorted outside with a cup and cardboard. Do people know there’s no poisonous spiders in the UK and these creatures are harmless?

What To Look Out For In Autumn
We found this old Ladybird book from 1960 with a lovely illustration of a red squirrel, jay, hen blackbird and false death cap in beech mast by Tunnicliffe.

A few more squirrel kittens for you, because to can never be too rich, too thin, or be over-endowed with red squirrel kittens.

It’s scientifically evidenced that red squirrel kitten invasions on a saturday morning are the very best way to start your weekend. 100% of red squirrels who took part in our survey agreed.
