Sunday (January 21) marked Red Squirrel Appreciation Day, and we would love to celebrate by showcasing some of your best photos capturing our favourite little red friends!
The Island is a nationally important stronghold for red squirrels and they are a draw for tourists, some of whom have seeing one on their bucket list.
What do red squirrels like to eat?
During wintertime, food is often scarce and reliable water can be hard to find when temperatures drop.
The best thing to feed a squirrel is a mixture of hazelnuts, walnuts sunflower seeds, chopped carrots, unsweetened rust, watermelon, apple, grapes and kiwi.
Some of our incredible Isle of Wight County Press Camera Club Facebook group members have posted some beautiful shots of our stunning furry friends. Why not join and see for yourself?
Send us your red squirrel photos by finding us on Facebook, Instagram or X (formally Twitter), or email us at editor@iwcp.co.uk
