You don’t need to pay to see a lot of things in Escot; just walking around the grounds there is plenty to see. The red squirrels are always nice to see. I caught them the other day at feeding time, the staff feed them at certain times with special food and it is not appreciated if the public tries to feed them with bread or biscuits as its no good for them.
It is very difficult to take pictures of then because they are very lively but I managed to get a few.
The red squirrels are in an enclosure to protect them from the grey squirrels that carry a disease that doesn’t affect the grey’s but it is very harmful to the red squirrels. Escot has a good breeding program and seems to be working well to help increase the numbers.
