Red squirrel breeding hope for Mersea Island project


	Quote: Organisers of a project to bring red squirrels to an Essex island are hoping the animals will soon start to breed. Twenty squirrels have been released into the wild on Mersea Island since 2012, following a repopulation programme across East Anglia. The island was chosen for re-colonisation as it has no grey squirrels, which can pass a fatal disease to their red relations.

I’ll be keeping an eye out for those when I’m there this year.
