…10 weeks, although they may continue to use the breeding drey for another month or so, as long as mum will tolerate them. As this winter has been a relatively mild one, red squirrels have been more active than they would have been, as the need to stay warm in their dreys is slightly less urgent. This is good news… […]
…many years. In Aberdeen, breeding red squirrels have been recorded in suburban gardens and are now seen regularly in parks that only a few years ago were overrun by grey squirrels. This red squirrel recovery is replicated in parts of Perthshire, Angus and northern parts of Stirling. Greys are retreating… Springtime surveys over several years show a trend of grey… […]
…red squirrel populations in Scotland have remained stable. The most encouraging results were found in Aberdeen, where red squirrels are being reported in suburban gardens and parks that only a few years ago were grey-only zones. There are still many healthy red squirrel populations in South Scotland, and we are successfully managing to prevent grey squirrels from further encroaching upon… […]

As their numbers increased they also spread into rural areas along the Dee, beyond Banchory, and the Don, as far as Inverurie, posing a threat to the red squirrels in wider Aberdeenshire and to nearby populations in Moray and the Highlands. SSRS… […]
…where some of the only remaining red squirrel populations in England are being successfully conserved through a strong network of volunteer groups, some of which have been operating for as long as three decades. We envisage that a similar level of coverage and cooperation can be achieved in South Scotland to provide the protection that these inter-connected red squirrel populations… […]
…squirrel presence has significantly increased, suggesting that grey squirrels are continuing to move into what was previously “red only” territory. Although red and grey squirrels can live side by side for a short period of time, in most wooded landscapes, grey squirrels will typically replace red squirrels within a few years unless efforts are made to reduce their numbers. When… […]
