Seen at Rhyd Ddu, Gwynedd, and causing much interest in 'squirrel circles'. On Anglesey, a project has been running for several years, which has seen the removal of grey squirrels which, in turn, has led to the native red squirrels re-colonising the island. Reports have been received of sightings on the mainland, with red squirrels having crossed via road and rail bridges. However, this sighting is some 11 miles, 'as the crow flies', from the potential crossing points. As far as I am aware, as at June 2014, this is the furthest inland that any red squirrel has travelled. He/she has been resident at this location for several weeks. Here, 'Rusty' the red squirrel is being chased off by a grey squirrel.
