Please Don't Feed Red Squirrels

If we're lucky enough to live in an area where red squirrels still thrive it's tempting to feed them, thinking we're being kind.

And many photographers are tempted to chuck down food in the hope of attracting red squirrels in close for a great shot.

Unfortunately feeding can kill our little red fluffy friends, rather than helping them, so I've produced this short film for Cramlington & District Red Squirrel Group to help explain the dangers.

So whether you're a kind-hearted neighbour of reds, or just visiting a red squirrel wood, please don't be tempted to feed them!

The film was the latest donation made under my Conservation & Community Commitment - more details here
