Story

No Scottish Wildlife Collection would be complete without the iconic red squirrel. Before my recent camping trip, I had never seen one in person, let alone had the chance to photograph them! 

Over the course of my trip, I managed to capture them on four different occasions, but this particular reference comes from the very last day in Perthshire. There was a special moment when a very chonky red squirrel came along, happily munching on a stash of peanuts right near my camera. I even asked some of you to help name this cheeky little guy on my stories. But as I zoomed in, I realized something amazing—this "chonky chap" was actually a very pregnant lady!

She ate so many peanuts that she eventually fell asleep on top of her snack pile. I thought that was the end of our encounter, but about 30 minutes later, she surprised me by jumping onto a log just a meter in front of me. We both seemed equally startled! I quickly snapped this shot, and the name “Red Alert” felt perfect—not only for the shock we both experienced but also as a nod to the squirrel’s striking red coat.
