    they are introducing the Scottish wild cats in pairs, making sure the male and females have come from different families and different parts of Scotland. I really hope they do succeed and breed.

    Isn't another reason red squirrels are disappearing is due to grey squirrels carrying a disease that doesn't effect them but instead effects red squirrels?

    I've had a black fox local to me, used to seem him as a small cub in a nature reserve and saw him every now and again but haven't spotted him for months so I guess he either left the area or has been killed.
    I believe these are why the stories of black shuck came about.

      Wild foxes don't live for long in nature tho, so he might've passed away not due to hunting. Saw a female fox in my area almost every day, easy to identify because she didn't have a tail (most likely lost it after getting hit by a car or something). I saw her for about 2 years, and then nothing. And I don't believe she was shot, as she lived in a rather "akward" hunting area, she dissapeared outside of hunting season and she didn't have a tail. I believe she could've been 4 years old around the time she stopped appearing, which is on the "older" side for wild foxes

    I'd say the rarity depends a lot on the location. I live in the countryside in the North West of County Durham, I used to see loads of Red Squirrels when I was younger. I probably haven't seen one in 5 years or more. Same goes for water voles, and I'm out hiking every weekend. The biodiversity in my area is terrible.

    Love idea of re wilding a lot of our lost species BUT, When any animal has been brought up in any type of captivity, they are fed so NOT used to living wild and a lot die die from starvation PLUS with the way we are taking away a lot of the moorland and green spaces this would also be bad. Of which n one hears about. So im actually on the fence with any re wilding at all

    The huge growth in numbers of grey squirrels in Great Britain have cut the Red Squirrels to 140,00 from a population of 3.5 MILLION. This is a continuing process that will very likely render the red squirrel from "least concerned" status, to "concerned" to threatened if left unchecked.

    Red squirrels in Cumbria and The Lake District to see easily, recently they did discover that the Cumbrian Red squirrels are different to Scottish red squiggles. The problem is the speed the Grey Squirrels are moving north. They carry a disease that they are immune to but kills red squirrels horribly.

    Otters are about twice the size of pine martens and aren't as arboreal. They tend to stay near water. I've seen red squirrels in Dumfries and Galloway. Seen otters it Thetford Norfolk and tons and tons of badgers in Cambridgeshire. I now live in Corfu where we have a lot of Beech Martens. Very similar to the Pine martens. Not as reclusive here. I see them in the villages as well as the olive groves.

    Nice bit of argy bargy on the niceties of 'rare'. 😂
    I once applied for a part time position at a well known Eco related charity in Auckland and because I challenged the interviewee on the rarity of the NZ native pigeon a bit I didn't get the job.
    Problem was I had seen a number of them regularly where I lived in the city and also a large no of Native Pigeons in Titirangi when I went on a bush walk in the Waitakere ranges.
    Many people see nothing in the NZ bush because they stomp through it thinking they don't have to keep still or quiet to see most Native wildlife.
    I just walk off the track a bit ( always within line of sight though as even the Waitakeres have cases of people bring lost forever or falling off bluffs in the often thick rainforest) . If you just sit down and shut up & keep still birds will appear. Normally all you will see close up on a fast tramp/ hike are pied fantails which follow people around for the insects their feet throw up. Or the odd tui which are also fairly common in gardens anyway.
    (The interviewer was a nationally famous conservation activist)
    Now I'm in a much more rural area I haven't seen a native pigeon for over 10 yrs. So- Who was right?
    Debatable isn't it?
    Animals can often be locally common but nationally rare. Or just very cryptic/well hidden.

    I recently moved to a town near the outskirts of London. During an exploration of one of the local nature reserves, I was shocked to see a number of wild rabbits. This led me to wonder if this area was also home to badgers. Having never encountered a badger, my next thought was, "Are badgers dangerous?" I didn't have the answer, so I decided to make a swift return to my house just in case. I think it's fair to say that many Londoners have very little exposure to British wildlife.

    Cuckoo’s and water voles are definitely not common. Especially where I live in Scotland. I haven’t heard a cuckoo in decades were I used to hear em almost daily during summer in the exact same place. Does uncommon automatically mean rare? I’ll leave that for you guys to decide however Cookie you seem to be only looking at it from the point of view of your area which is a great place for wildlife. If you take the whole of the UK into account and work out how many sightings in the whole of the UK they may well be considered rare.
