“18 October 2019 RED SQUIRRELS ARRIVE BY FIRST CLASS SPECIAL DELIVERY

The community on Tresco Island, Isles of Scilly, was boosted yesterday (Wednesday 18 September) after 20 red squirrels arrived by helicopter to take up residence.

The squirrels, made up of a mix of males and females, were transported safely from the British Wildlife Centre in Surrey. The final leg of the journey saw the endangered species board a Royal Navy Air Squadron training flight from RNAS Culdrose direct to Tresco.

The re-homing of the red squirrels is part of an induction programme and was organised collaboratively by Robin Page, the Daily Telegraph’s countryside editor, the Countryside Restoration Trust, Tresco Island and the British Wildlife Centre.

As a private island, Tresco will be a secure home for the declining red squirrels and it is hoped that they will breed.”

Would I be wrong saying, it is a magical moment when you see one fast, beautiful and cute squirrel on Tresco doing its own thing, living its best squirrels life. I could watch them forever.

I used to live in Brighton and sadly no red squirrels were left in a park at that time, but there were plenty grey squirrels around. They were very smart and brave. It did not take long till all my lunch breaks were spent on one bench feeding my friends with nuts that I never failed to have in my bag.
