Red squirrels are making a come back in Fresh fields.

I used to work on a shoot a few miles away (Little Crosby) and we where plagued with Greys, to the point we used to shoot on sight, so it's nice to read a story about the native reds making a comeback from the Pox they Greys introduced. I am hoping they have now built up a immunity as if they keep spreading I might be lucky and see a few down where I live due to the nature corridor of the Transpenine trail being right behind my house.

Along the Killin to Aberfeldy road were signs warning of Red Squirrels, never say any though

It is a lovely area, when I was in collage we helped out there from time to time, and I can tell you when your in a really secluded area an you can hear the sea and eating your lunch and a a red runs in front of you and you feed it a snickers a snickers bar prity much at your feet you feel so relaxed it's unreal.
