A survey of the region’s squirrels has revealed a mix of the grey and red species in Dumfries and Galloway.
More than 600 people took part in the fourth Great Scottish Squirrel Survey in October, with 255 grey squirrels and 510 reds reported across the country.
And that reveals a mix of reds and greys in south Scotland, with volunteers working hard to keep numbers of the non-native greys under control.
