Hi everyone- for those of you lucky people booked into Borrowdale site, please note that there is now no shop at reception. As a result, no squirrel food is for sale. All feeders including the ones at reception are empty. We only saw one this week on a feeder that a resident had filled with his own hazel nuts.
Please keep this vital population sustained by taking some squirrel food from your home or get some from Birds Bistro at Penruddock on the way here.
If you see a grey squirrel on a feeder, please stop feeding as greys (sadly they are around) spread the pox to reds and feeders are a place it can spread (harmless to humans). Please pass any sightings of greys and reds to Keswick red squirrel group on Facebook. I have contacted the CMC and May contact the BBC.
By the way, with there being no shop, us humans are also at a disadvantage so please stock up before coming here. It is a gem of a spot.
