Red Squirrel - Sciurus Vulgaris
Highlands, Scotland.
The red squirrel is found in both coniferous forest and temperate broadleaf woodlands. The squirrel makes a drey (nest) out of twigs in a branch-fork, forming a domed structure about 25 to 30 cm in diameter. This is lined with moss, leaves, grass and bark. Tree hollows and woodpecker holes are also used. The red squirrel is a solitary animal and is shy and reluctant to share food with others. However, outside the breeding season and particularly in winter, several red squirrels may share a drey to keep warm. Social organization is based on dominance hierarchies within and between sexes; although males are not necessarily dominant to females, the dominant animals tend to be larger and older than subordinate animals, and dominant males tend to have larger home ranges than subordinate males or females.
Red squirrels that survive their first winter have a life expectancy of 3 years. Individuals may reach 7 years of age, and 10 in captivity. Survival is positively related to availability of autumn–winter tree seeds; on average, 75–85% of juveniles die during their first winter, and mortality is approximately 50% for winters following the first.
Although not thought to be under any threat worldwide, the red squirrel has nevertheless drastically reduced in number in the United Kingdom; especially after the grey squirrels were introduced from North America in the 1870s. Fewer than 140,000 individuals are thought to be left in 2013; approximately 85% of which are in Scotland, with the Isle of Wight being the largest haven in England. A local charity, the Wight Squirrel Project,[26] supports red squirrel conservation on the island, and islanders are actively recommended to report any invasive greys. The population decrease in Britain is often ascribed to the introduction of the eastern grey squirrel from North America, but the loss and fragmentation of its native woodland habitat has also played a role.
In January 1998, eradication of the non-native North American grey squirrel began on the North Wales island of Anglesey. This facilitated the natural recovery of the small remnant red squirrel population. It was followed by the successful reintroduction of the red squirrel into the pine stands of Newborough Forest. Subsequent reintroductions into broadleaved woodland followed and today the island has the single largest red squirrel population in Wales. Brownsea Island in Poole Harbour is also populated exclusively by red rather than grey squirrels (approximately 200 individuals).
How's about a great big red HMM kiss. The lip colour is Loreal True Red. Used the reversed mount ring method with my 50 mm lens.
A lovely red Dahlia, shot in the Dahlia Garden at Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park on Long Island in New York. We did not record the variety. The garden is maintained by the Long Island Dahlia Society (LIDS).

This capture in Arches was about 1.5 hours before sunrise. Quarter moon added some nice light into the scene.
A red Gerbera daisy (scientific genus name Gerbera) from my wife's flower garden. That's really red. You can see some of the reproductive parts in the small disc flowers, around the center.
Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?
A bird that generated quite a bit of special interest with at least one member of our group during our visit to the Pantanal was the Red-crested Cardinal. Early in our visit I had a piece of dumb luck and this beauty flew up and landed right in front of me offering a fantastic chance to get some shots. I felt a little guilty since I wasn’t the one who was really itching for this species but thankfully everyone eventually did manage satisfying shots though it took them a few more days. It sure is nice to have some luck once in a while!
