Heartbroken to find a red squirrel killed on a local road this morning. I hope it wasn’t the red squirrel I saw by the farm cottage a few days ago. Cars v bodies.... Perfect, so light, and beautiful - red coat, bushy tail and wonderful white front. I moved it from road to hedge to go back to nature.
