I saw an amazing sight the other day, a red squirrel walking up the wall of a house. The house had rough cast on it and a squirrel feeder in a tree at the bottom so this seems to be a regular occurrence there. Unfortunately for this squirrel it also saw me and it let go in surprise falling a good 20m or so. It didn't seem to do itself any harm and I could see that it was young with no ear tufts when I got a chance to look at it a bit closer. I would have loved to get a video of it but what are the chances of it happening again? So unfortunately you will have to make do with this one that I took from the new wildlife hide at the Kirrochtree Visitor Centre in the Galloway Forest Park, still a wonderful site.
