You've just got to love a man who cares so much about red squirrels! I have always admired his attitude to conservation and preservation of wildlife, since I share his views, but those red squirrels are just adorable and I hope the campaign is successful.

Thank you everyone who has posted links to pics recently. Charles has been very busy but his smiling face suggests he is really enjoying his life and his work.

RED squirrels could die out in the UK within ten years unless urgent steps are taken to help them, Prince Charles warned yesterday

Prince's red alert on red squirrels - The Scotsman

Prince Charles has called for the endangered red squirrel to become a national mascot.
He said the creature's decline was another example of short-sightedness in an 'increasingly throwaway' society

Red squirrels have taken a shine to the Prince of Wales and apparently enjoy running what he described as a "wall of death" around his office at his Scottish home.

Well, I suppose that since Canada has a rodent as a national symbol, why not? Not that there's any danger of beavers being endangered.

Is it possible to trap/kill the grey squirrels without catching the red ones? I would think that they eat the same food, which would make trapping one but not the other very difficult.

I am certain the few Beaver released here are in extreme danger, not from the environment but from those nasty critters - people! The Red Squirrel population has been decimated by a bug carried by the American Grey. They eat the same foods.

Perhaps HRH should ask His Holiness to pray for the ultimate triumph of the native red squirrel over the upstart American gray invaders?
