Are The Reds Fighting Back?

I’ve never seen a red squirrel in the wild and it has looked for some time, that they will disappear from the mainland in England.

However, the BBC is reporting that some red squirrels on Merseyside, may have developed an immunity to the squirrelpox carried by the dreaded grey squirrels.

I have found a link here to the research on this at Liverpool University.

Let’s hope that the immunity spreads to red squirrels elsewhere in the UK.
