Red squirrels number on the rise in Scotland, survey finds.

A survey of red squirrels in Scotland suggests that efforts to increase their numbers have been successful.

Over many years, the reds retreated further northwards and concerns grew that they could be wiped out. The survey confirmed the only red squirrel population in the Highlands is safe and free of greys due to the efforts of staff protecting the Highland Boundary Fault Line, a geological feature stretching from Argyll to Aberdeenshire.During the fourth annual survey week in October, 659 participants reported 255 grey squirrel and 510 red squirrel sightings - more than triple the number reported in a typical week.

Vanessa Fawcett from the Red Squirrel Survival Trust told BBC Scotland that gardeners can help with the conservation efforts.

Met Police: Refuge charity dumps 1,071 'bad apples' at New Scotland YardMore than 1,000 'bad apples' have been dumped outside New Scotland Yard by women's charity Refuge. Refuge said it wanted to highlight the scale of abuse allegations involving officers. 📲 Full story: I wonder how many women get away with abusing children not just sexually but with violence as well? Should we drop bad apples outside feminist office's? Before people say anything I know all about it. My mother beat me not my father. Most of my mate's got hit by their mothers. Allegations - not proven & for context the Met are 'reviewing' these cases to ensure correct process & decisions were taken at the time. Presumption of innocence still applies for most people? The 'scale' may not be anywhere near 1,000 & that includes staff as well as officers. 1000 Rotten Apples Spoiled the New Scotland Yard.
