    Dani, I love your videos, although I see and photograph many red squirrels in my own backyard. But to see them like that in the forest is really something very special.

    Red squirrels are so adorably cute. I love their ear tufts! They remind me of the hairdo of a mad scientist 😁

      Loads of them in Germany. Best place to find them is cemeteries. There is one round the corner from us in Duisburg. We often go for a walk there on Sundays to watch the squirrels.

    I like how you show your own actions during photography and filming. It takes us viewers more into this story, watching the squirrels and yourself like a spy, not being seen either by you nor by the animals.

      You don't even have to dive into the depths of the wilderness to observe animals. Many animals can also be observed in the green belt of the cities. You just have to sit patiently for a while and the first ones will appear very quickly. Our native red squirrels visit us regularly on the balcony and like to pick up their hazelnuts, which are lying there for them. I love squirrels 🙂

    I love squirrels so much ❤️🐿. Luckily they come to visit me on my balcony a lot and of course I name them all. And their favourite food is a kind of porridge I make them fresh every day. It consists of grounded and chopped hazelnuts with a little water and a tiny amount of honey. Here in Germany we have plenty of red squirrels and in the south of Germany (where I live) also very beautiful black ones.
    The one with the blonde tail in your video was adorable (and clearly a mommy 🥰).
    I hope to see more of your brilliant videos in the future, Dani! 💖☺️

    Fantastic video. I could sit and watch reds all day and have done a few times as I spent 8 years photographing them in England and Scotland. I’ve now moved to the conservation side and am involved with grey control in the north east trying to ensure we have colony’s of reds left for future generations to enjoy. We are now seeing reds on a property where only greys have been present for a few years so the work is paying off.
    Once again cracking video and looking forward to seeing more.

    It’s taken a while, but I’m heading to the UK next month from Australia…. I have three nights booked at Forest Howe and am soooo hoping to see one of these precious squirrels in person. Thank you so much for showing me this beautiful corner of the world that I’ll soon be seeing in person 😊

    I do night deliveries mostly in the countryside. I've been fortunate to have spotted a lot of rarer to see animals. Back in July I saw two younger badgers which surprised me. I had only thought Sweden had wolverines. The various deers. I have a Lynx, wolf and bear left on my mental checklist and I believe I'll have seen every animal here in the north.
