In celebration of #NationalMarineWeek 2023, earlier this week we did a shout out for any photos or footage of red squirrels swimming (a rare sight).
In response we received this fantastic shot from the Scottish Borders! Thanks Gethin, incredible! 🐿️🏊

This is Inner Farne, in the Farne Islands. St Cuthbert is said to have driven evil spirits from the island when he settled there, though they occasionally return. When they do, they scream and ride black goats before disappearing. #FolkloreThursday #NationalMarineWeek [My Image]

If you’re at the coast for #NationalMarineWeek look and see what shells you can find - maybe have a go at identifying them or sketching them? There’s lots more than I’ve shown here!

Red squirrels are one of Scotland's iconic woodland species.🌳🐿️
But, in celebration of #NationalMarineWeek , did you know red squirrels can also swim?! 🏊🌊
This behaviour isn't often captured, so if you ever see it take a photo/video and send it into us!
