Quest for Reds

So as you all may know I'm a little bit obsessed about Red Squirrels (I promise the whole blog won't be about them!!). 
As I live down South there's not many places near to get my fix of the little critters apart from the British Wildlife Centre in Surrey which has an open walkway where you can get up close and personal with them!! Eek now that's my dream come true!!

Who could resist this little cutie bounding towards you, with the look of love in his eye (ok maybe that last bit is just in my head!!)



(On reflection that maybe a her!!) 

Very up close and personal with them....

 
This one decided my bum was the perfect vantage point to wait for the keeper and her bucket of treats!! 

Just after she'd rummaged in my bag...my bag is normally full of nuts and bird seed..not lipstick and hmmm not sure of any other makeup names!! 


So if like me, you love Reds but don't live anywhere near them, go check out the wildlife centre...it has a wonderful breeding programme and does some great work to educate people on these wonderful creatures.
