Thanks to everyone who shared the Squirrelpox vaccine petition to help protect our lovely red squirrels. If you haven't signed already please do so. We lost 70-80% of the Bangor reds in a 2021 outbreak, if the virus ever got onto the island it would be awful. petitions.senedd.wales/petitions/24...

Last week’s Natural Pigment Red Squirrel painting session with the Canolfan Beaumaris Warm Spaces group. A great event that was part of our National Lottery Heritage Fund funded Magical Mammals project!

Mae gan wiwerod coch glustiau cudynnog, ffwr gwinau gyda llwyth o agwedd. Peidiwch a chael camargraff am eu bod mor ciwt. Maent yn rheoli coedydd Ynys Mon.

We are releasing red squirrels in Clocaenog forest as part of #Magicalmammals project

Os ydych yn gweld wiwer goch yn y DU, yna cyfrwch eich hun yn lwcus. Maent yn brin, swil a fwy na dim yn ‘VIPs’ y coetir. #YnysMon #Magicalmammals

Mae’r wiwerod coch wedi bod ym Mhrydain am filoedd o flynyddoedd. Dim ond yn yr 1800au wnaeth rhai llwyd droi i fyny. Peidiwch a gadael i’n wiwerod coch ddiflannu. [image NRW]

Grey squirrels pose a threat to reds even in upland spruce forests

Thanks to the tireless work of conservationists, red squirrel numbers on Anglesey have risen from 35 to 800 - but these lovely creatures are still at risk of disappearing from these isles forever. buff.ly/TOmv6lS

A big busy-tailed thanks to James our 'well-being' officer for running squirrel craft events, squirrel mapping and lots of habitat management days!

Brilliant effort by volunteer Alex who after a week of effort has caught a grey squirrel we detected on Anglesey. Red squirrel survival is because of volunteers like him.

The Magical Mammals project will be featured on ITV’s Coast & Country on Friday, 18 April at 7pm. 🐿️🌲 Discover the incredible work being done to protect one of Wales’ rarest and most iconic species. Don’t miss it!

Grey squirrels on Anglesey in 2025. We need a squirrelpox vaccine.

For @redsquirrelsinw.bsky.social the red squirrel footprints and my epically poor photo from Cumbria which absolutely made my day.

We cleared Anglesey of grey squirrels. Our wild red squirrel population doubled, then we boosted genetic variation to get an x8 increase. We rescued red squirrel from the brink of extinction and put them back into peoples lives. #MAgicalmammals [📷H Rowlands]

A fantastic picture of a red squirrel in Penrhos Park, Anglesey [📷Shirley Blease]. The species faces a very uncertain future on Holy Island unless developers do something quite amazing to mitigate for the 500 chalets they will build. I have my doubts that it is actually possible
