Red Squirrel, Sciurus vulgaris - Local Neighbourhood |
Red squirrels live in trees and build a nest called a drey and generally live alone. However they can be social and if you do get the chance to watch them in courtship it is brilliant. They dance around trees chasing one another - well I guess its actually the male chasing the lady!
