There are around 160,000 of them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Location:<\/strong> Found in parts of Scotland, northern Cumbria and Northumberland, and parts of Ireland. Isolated populations can be found in Wales, North Yorkshire, Durham, Lancashire, Brownsea and Furzey Islands, the Isle of Wight and Jersey.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Size:<\/strong> Adult size is 35-45cm from head to tail, weighing 220-435g, with males larger than females.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nests (dreys):<\/strong> Red squirrel dreys are found in trees close to the trunk or in branch forks typically 6m above ground level.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Red squirrels are active all year round during daylight hours. While they don\u2019t hibernate, they will remain in their nests during periods of severe winter weather. Through winter, their main period of activity peaks around late morning, while during summer, they peak twice, in mid-morning and late afternoon. Adverse weather can reduce their activity. Red squirrels have a thicker coat and longer ear tufts in winter.<\/p>\n<h2>Habitat<\/h2>\n<p>Red squirrels are an arboreal mammal, so-called because they live in trees. They can be found in all types of woodland. Due to the greater diversity and availability of food found in deciduous woodland, historically this is where the greatest population densities of red squirrels could be found in the United Kingdom and Ireland. However, following the introduction of North American grey squirrels at the end of the 19th century, red squirrels were outcompeted in these areas. Red squirrels are now increasingly restricted to large conifer woodlands and plantations.<\/p>\n<h2>Best time to shoot<\/h2>\n<p>The best time for photographing red squirrels is during the winter months when their winter coats and characteristic long ear tufts have developed. Put simply, this is when they are at their most photogenic. Late summer can also be a good time to photograph them, and although they won\u2019t have their winter coats and long ear tufts, purple hues of flowering heather can make for a great backdrop to set off their reddish-brown fur.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_66620&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-at-eye-level.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-66620 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-at-eye-level.jpg\" alt=\"Andrew-Mason,-red-squirrel-at-eye-level\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-at-eye-level.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-at-eye-level.jpg?resize=300,451 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-at-eye-level.jpg?resize=266,400 266w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-at-eye-level.jpg?resize=900,1353 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-at-eye-level.jpg?resize=562,845 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Getting down to the squirrel&#8217;s eye level always makes for an effective portrait<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Shooting advice<\/h2>\n<h2>Feeding stations<\/h2>\n<p>Red squirrels can be quite difficult to track down, even in areas that have a good population. If you only have a limited amount of time available for photography, or are struggling to find them, many nature reserves have feeding stations that are visited by red squirrels.<\/p>\n<h2>Available light<\/h2>\n<p>Photographing in woodland, especially conifer plantations in winter, can present challenges due to low light levels. Look for areas where natural light penetrates the tree canopy. Photographing red squirrels in a \u2018pool\u2019 of natural light against a dark background can make for stunning images. You can also experiment with photographing red squirrels backlit.<\/p>\n<h2>Positioning<\/h2>\n<p>Photographing from any animal\u2019s eye level makes for more intimate portraits. With an animal as small as the red squirrel, this means you may have to lie down on the ground. I like to photograph through vegetation, such as heather, isolating an individual animal in the gaps in the undergrowth and using a wide aperture to throw both the foreground and background out of focus.<\/p>\n<h2>Snow<\/h2>\n<p>While red squirrels may be less active in prolonged periods of heavy snowfall, photographing them in the snow can make for great photographs. If you\u2019re lucky and snow is falling while you\u2019re shooting, experiment with a variety of shutter speeds, freezing the snowflakes mid-air or recording their movement as they fall.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_66621&quot;  class=\"c-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1020px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-in-snow.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-66621 size-full\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-in-snow.jpg\" alt=\"Andrew-Mason,-red-squirrel-in-snow\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-in-snow.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-in-snow.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-in-snow.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-in-snow.jpg?resize=900,600 900w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2015\/12\/Andrew-Mason-red-squirrel-in-snow.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Snow can provide an atmospheric setting for photographying the red squirrel<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Kit list<\/h2>\n<h2>Lenses<\/h2>\n<p>As encounters with red squirrels can be brief, a telephoto zoom (200-400mm f\/4) will allow you to vary composition quickly without moving position.
