Red Mist

Autumn comes with mist and the dying year has a blaze of colour. You even have a red squirrel there by the look of it. I've never seen one of those here, though I did see a pine martin jump into a tree on dartmoor once. It surprised the hell out of me.

Hi john,

there's a few red squirrels, in the parks in the city, one ran past me only a couple of yards away the other day.

Certainly the trees are ablaze with leftover summer.

Its pretty warm here too


cheers

Hi penny

Are there many reds where u are?

cheers

Hey Aferris

Yes, there are lots of red squirrels where I live

They make that weird rattling noise
And squeaky sounds
And they burrow rather then nest in trees like the grey/black squirrels do

Just recently: There was a little young red squirrel alongside one of the bike trails I use

tucked under his tail, seemed quite disoriented or something

I got off my bike and he/she left, but, didn't scurry just sort of wandered off the path

Not to much I could do for it, but, hope it was ok

they are super cute

They're great to watch. This one is in the middle of the city, which is encouraging.

cheers
