On Sunday I visited Peak Wildlife Park in Staffordshire, on a lovely sunny Spring day,
and was able to spend time with these delightful creatures, red squirrels.
Having seen red squirrels in Scotland, Yorkshire and Cumbria, it was very useful to
find some which I could watch at close quarters, to get more detailed reference.

I visited the Park with friends from The Wildlife Art Society International, and also
watched and filmed two Red Pandas, which I am sure will be featuring in some future
work soon.
It was also good to find that after my hip replacement, I am now much more mobile, which
will help in my reference outings from now on.
