| Red Squirrel, Sciurus vulgaris |
On September 6th I met Nigel Symington at the British Wildlife Centre in Surrey. This zoo has a wonderful collection of
British mammals, birds and other creatures. We started by walking through the Red Squirrel enclosure and followed the half hourly feeding
events through the day. Knowledgeable keepers give a talk about the mammal then feed them. At the end of the day they flew five owls in an arena. We
stayed all day and I took so many photos that I have only just finished editing
them. I shall return!
