steve66 3,128 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Great picture , but never seen a red one in real life Do you cull the greys in the area to give the reds a chance or can they hold there own Territory ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moll. 1,769 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 We have quite a few up here, this one was on the window sill of the North lodge cottage of the castle. It takes the nuts from the feeder. Totally unbothered, brilliant to see so close. However we have been notified the greys are coming, been seen quite near I cannot understand why there is not some sort of defence put in place when grey are entering a known red area Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve66 3,128 Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 You think they'd have some organized culling program to protect them Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fantastic shot, i love taking pictures but av only got a decent film camera, that dosnt do the best quality pictures! They is load's of differant digi camera's on the market Patrick ..and some of them are not that expensive but still take good picture's..much easier than messing about with the older 35mm film camera's.. .

pat blewitt 41 Posted July 26, 2011 Report Share Posted July 26, 2011 I managed to get these last year on Brownsea Island Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Millet 4,497 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Nice shot's Pat but are you sure that is not a grey as it lack's the ear tuft's.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EskdaleHawks 8 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I managed to get these last year on Brownsea Island Nice shot of a female red,Pat and possibly pregnant. Judging by the thickness of her coat, was the pic taken early in the year? If this pick had been taken in summer then the coat would have been sleak and shiny and she would have had 'Tufts'. Millet - Reds can be without tufts when they have their winter coat. I don't think there are any greys on Brownsea island. Brownsea and the Isle of White are the only two places in England, south of Anglsey where there are Reds. The pic of the Red you took in northumberland. It wasn't around the Lambley area was by any chance? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheer's for the info.. ..the picture i took was around 40 mile north of Lambley as the crow flies..that is if the Lambley you mean is near to haltwhistle.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
