‘Connie’ The Red Squirrel

Meet Connie the Red Squirrel.  I’m sure you’ll agree she’s a cutie!

The Red Squirrel’s habitat is coniferous, mixed and broadleaved woodland. They were once found across the UK, but have disappeared from most of the country due to the introduction of grey squirrels. Now red squirrels are confined to Scotland, pockets of northern England and Wales and small islands off England’s south coast. The species can still be found across much of Ireland, but its range is shrinking there too.
