At first glance this is a very nondescript picture but if you click on it so that it enlarges you will hopefully spot the red squirrel that had just jumped down from the plum tree. This is the closest to the house that we have seen one. We are incredibly lucky to have red squirrels in Cumbria.
Much is being done to encourage them and to keep the grey squirrels out of the area.
Later in the day we saw another one at the bottom of the garden.
