This week I'm back in Wensleydale for a few days of walking and wildlife-watching, including some more visits to see the Snaizeholme red squirrels. Some of these cheeky rodents are extremely chilled around humans and, although the light in the woods is still patchy, I've spent much more time with the squirrels than on my visit in May and got a few more photos as a result. I also spotted a stoat and some sort of a shrew whilst sitting quietly, but no pictures of those.
On early morning and evening walks I've seen roe deer, hares, a healthy juvenile hedgehog, and hundreds of rabbits (including the quite pale individuals below). I also found what looked like a promising spot for otters on the River Ure, so I'm sure I'll be back to Wensleydale before too long.
