SIGHTINGS
SUBMISSION
Red squirrel sightings help us gauge the health and location of our red squirrel populations. Grey sightings help us target management locations to protect the reds from disease and competition for food and habitat.
Please let us know immediately if you see a red or a grey squirrel by reporting via the form below.
If you’re not sure if it’s a red or grey squirrel that you’ve spotted, see our ID pictures below (click the 'ID Photos'). Greys always have a silver-white halo around their tail, reds never do. Reds have pointed ears and grey have rounded ears.
ID Photos
Note how the Red (left) has a fluffier, bushy tail with no 'white aura ring' around its tips, whereas the Grey has a thicker tail with the visible ring around the very tips.
