Me too Andy. The last time I saw a red squirrel in Scotland was in Balloch Park in about 1972. Edited March 26, 2009 by corydoras

I live in one of the safe havens (Balmoral to Inver)

We see them most days in the garden

I have never seen a red squirrel in its natural surroundings!

 

(although I saw some BLACK ones on TV the other day!)

They are still common around here. Even around town, they live in the relative peace of the cemetery.

I too can't remember seeing a red squirrel, but I do see lots of balck squirrels since they are very common in my part of Herfordshire.

 

I'm off up to Sportsman neck of the woods in a weeks time, so I'll keep my eyes peeled.

The Isle of Wight's crawling with the blighters!

 

The last one I saw wild in mainland England was in about 1968 in Worcestershire.
