Red Squirrel (Sciurus Vulgaris) holding a nut in its mouth in a forest
Red Squirrels in the Cairngorms National Park, Scotland - 10 Nov 2015
Wildlife photographer Drew Buckley captured these cute and characterful 'wee Reds' on a recent trip north to Scotland. Red Squirrels are native to our British woodland and Scotland's Caledonia forest is one of their last strongholds. For the past 50 years the red squirrel population has been decimated by its cousin the grey squirrel. Once numbering in their millions, today there are believed to be just 120,000 left in the UK - though recent research has suggested that they are starting to stage a comeback. Venturing into their territory, Drew was able capture the species preparing themselves for the winter. Blending in with the autumnal scenes around them, these busy squirrels are seen foraging for food to help get them through the cold months.
