A reminder that our next event will be Coniston Country Fair on Sunday 20th July – see: http://www.conistoncountryfair.co.uk Red squirrels have been spotted quite close to Coniston in previous years – you can visit us on our Westmorland Red Squirrels stand to find out more about them and what can be done to make sure that they can continue to thrive and reclaim their old territories.

Red seen near garage at Troutbeck Bridge!
A red squirrel was spotted more than once on Monday by residents at Troutbeck Bridge! First it was seen heading into the garage forecourt, and later it was photographed helping itself to sunflower seeds in a nearby garden. It is a remarkable achievement for a red squirrel to be seen in this location, and all thanks must go to those from our WRS group who have been working so hard to make this possible. See our Facebook page>> for further updates.
Red near St Cuthbert’s Church, Kentmere
This red squirrel has just been photographed visiting a garden in Kentmere, near to the church. Most of the reds are seen further south in the valley, so we’re hoping it becomes a regular.
Red at Holehird
