Red Squirrel
Red Squirrel
Red squirrels are one of the oldest native Irish species, in that they pre-date human history and were common at the end of the ice age when forests covered most of the landscape. As farmers arrived and cleared away the forests for farming and for timber, red squirrels in Ireland became almost extinct and had to be re-introduced from England about 200 years ago. However, in recent years, competition from the grey squirrel has pushed them once more down the road towards extinction. This is an image of a Red Squirrel running up a tree in the Raven Wood.
