Daph Willett has named her painting "Snow Squirrel" but this looks like a red squirrel in snow rather than an Arctic Ground Squirrel. When many of our members were children seeing red squirrels was a delight but not terribly unusual. There were over 3 million in the UK in the early 1950s but now there are about 120,000 and most of those are in Scotland.
