8/4/24 Yet another grey squirrel on Anglesey.

We need a squirrelpox vaccine asap... and before the gates of hell open and we have a massive disease outbreak amongst the island red squirrels. Huw Irranca-Davies Darren Millar MS 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Rhun ap Iorwerth

Did you know there were 3.5 million Red Squirrels in the UK, with this dropping significantly to an all-time low of 120,000 😓

We've been fighting to prevent the loss of the #RedSquirrel since 1989 with our longest running conservation project

WE NEED A SQUIRRELPOX VACCINE...

One of at least 5 red squirrels that we saw in Nant-y-Pandy today. Stunningly charismatic creatures that need protection from squirrel pox virus.

So much stuff washed onto beach on last months spring tide. Been picking up what I can daily for past 10 days but with a bad back recently it’s been tricky. Not made a dent in it yet😩

Red squirrel watching in Anglesey #redsquirrel #nature #wildlife #anglesey

We finally spotted our first red squirrel which is native to Anglesey but as usual I was slow to get my camera out. However I did a quick sketch from memory which is almost close enough. 🐿

Grey squirrel on Anglesey today. We need a squirrel pox vaccine to safeguard our reds!

Spot the Goshawk. Captive red did and didn't like it.

Taken through the window, it looks like we may have an Hazel tree in the veg box this year🤣🤣

Gwynedd pine martens venture into a local garden. A massive thanks to John for sharing this with us. Female isn't too happy to share the feeders with her Mr PM. Cronfa Treftadaeth y Loteri Genedlaethol #Magicalmammals project

Fascinating 2005 report on squirrelpox (parapox) vaccine research publications.naturalengland.org.uk/file/93025 with cost etc.
A report written seven years before the virus attenuation study and 2015 publication of the book chapter 'Squirrelpox virus origins and the potential for its control'.

Today is #WorldWaterDay . Healthy water ways are vital for endangered species like #watervoles . They've experienced one of the most rapid declines of any British wild mammal ever. We are dedicated to saving this national treasure, and you can help too.
