Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels (SSRS) is pleased to announce the results of this year’s Great Scottish Squirrel Survey:

• 1,107 people took part
• 1,563 squirrels were recorded
• 407 confirmed grey squirrel sightings

The partnership project encouraged people all across Scotland to keep an eye out for both red and grey squirrels between the 6 – 12 October, for its seventh annual survey.

Coinciding with Red Squirrel Appreciation Week and supported by survey partner, Trees for Life, the survey aims to provide a snapshot of squirrel populations up and down the country.
