I saw the sweetest little squirrel in Kaya yesterday. It was quite red coloured with a tinge of grey, are there red squirrels in Kaya? It was smaller than the ones I have seen in Britain.

Most of the Kaya squirrels are a mix of grey and red. I haven't seen any completely red ones and have only ever seen a couple of pure greys. They seem to be about half the size of those in the UK though.

We spotted one with the same colouring trying to get across the road .After a bit of will I won't I on the road it decided to go back the way it came.
First one I have seen here.

Two red squirrells have nested in our roof here every winter since 2002.That's just on the outskirts of Ovacik on the valley side. I don't know how long they live for so maybe it was a couple of generations.
Noisy little blighters and they kept throwing walnuts at usfrom the roof top.

Just come in from a late night walk with the dog  and saw a huge hedgehog really motoring along the road! Also there is an owl that barks like a small dog comes along every night at the same time (about eight o'clock).It sits in the same place every night at the same time and then flies off.
