Photo's taken in June at: Hauxley Nature Reserve

It looks a nice reserve SnappyMac, and some really nice photos, the Red Squirrel is lovely

We've been to Hauxley a few times, over a couple of years (stayed in Amble one year, Embleton a couple of years later), think it's a lovely reserve. Never managed to see red squirrel though... excuse to head back to the North East I reckon lol
Thanks for sharing more of your lovely pics :o)

We found it a great reserve with good facilities, free entry and only a small carpark charge. Had to go back a second time as we didn't see the red squirrel at the first attempt :)

Hauxley is certainly a great reserve, we try to visit every time we go to Northumberland. Last time we went we were watching Terns from Coquet Island o the reserve to wash their feathers in fresh water

The Red Squirrel is not in the reserve as such - they are in the little wooded area behind the car park that you can see straight ahead as you walk back out of the visitor centre area.

Thanks for that Bob, I'll keep it in mind for next time we head up :o)

A brilliant set of  photos. Hauxley is not a reserve I've been to, possibly one day when  I'm up that way.

Definitely worth a second visit for the red squirrel, though I've not seen a tree sparrow for a very long time, nor a bullfinch since before Covid.
