There are two of these little beauties in the garden at the moment - they seem to come out when it's wet, looking for easy food. I'm delighted they do.
It's very, very wet today, and it was all of yesterday, too. Lots of people in our village are getting very nervous about the height of the river. SEPA say the height of the Dee will peak between 12 and 3 this afternoon. Fingers crossed that there's no damage to properties.
@onewing Yes, flooding is awful. The people of our village were very badly flooded in 2015, so every high water event makes for some very worried people.
Rivers are very unpredictable, hope it doesn’t come over the banks….water is a nightmare! We are much higher up than our river Wyre but it’s only about five hundred metres away but we have to walk down hill to reach it. You are so lucky with these red squirrels, so very much prettier than our grey ones. Very precious!
A red squirrel, how lovely, a delightful capture. We saw that the river had overflowed in Ballater. Hope it doesn't cause too much damage and that all is well at your house.
How lucky you are to have these in your garden, reds are definitely the stars of the squirrel world. Here in the Pyrenees our squirrels are the same species, but oddly they are a muddy brown.
