 8) We really  hope  it  is, Roma!  The  paler  hair  at the tip of the  tail was worrying  us, but  we've  been sent a  couple  of  photos  of  squirrels that are  definitely  red which show the  same  trait. Depends on the time  of year, I expect, and the  age  of the  squirrel.   We've  only ever  had the  occasional grey  in the  past, though not recently. We know the reds are  not  far  away  - so this  is  especially exciting.

This was taken this afternoon.  Her tail was quite blonde but is growing darker.  Hasn't time to retouch her roots?  There were 2 female squirrels coming earlier in the year but I'm not sure if there are still 2 .  One had ear tufts and the other did not earlier in the year.  I've also seen a couple of young boys.  They are bright red all over.  The colour can be variable.

Thanks for these pictures Roma - it was the light tips to the tail that was bothering me but seeing those and some others I have been sent I am now 99% certain that it is a red squirrel.

Ian,
I think it's  a red squirrel too. We have had some in the garden which have a blonde tip to the tail. The colour varies with the time of year too. Adults have longer ear tufts in the autumn (greys don't ever have ear tufts).  I think the ears in your photos look tufted rather than rounded.
We currently have squirrel pox in the area and sadly have been advised not to feed the squirrels or birds, in order to reduce the spread of the disease. I hope yours realises what a wildlife-friendly garden it has found and you will have a lot of pleasure watching it.
