   IMAGES OF THE JUVENILES HAND REARED IN 2005

In 2005, Craig and Jane Devereux hand reared a litter of juvenile red squirrels after the adult female died in Newborough. Since then quite a few members of the Friends have asked to see the pictures. At last we have them in a digital format. Click on each to enlarge.
