One of the many benefits of working as a ranger are those concerning wildlife sightings. Sometimes it can be a fleeting glimpse of a squirrel scampering through the trees, a flash of a woodpeckers wing or the cry of a buzzard.
Live sightings are a pleasant bonus to my working day, but unfortunitaly more often than not I see quite a few road casualities. The two victims I see the most are badgers and red squirrels, both are seen scampering across the many roads around the county. As sad as it may be even these RTA victims can help in the on going monitoring of these particular two animals.
If you do see any sightings of badgers or squirrels, then log onto these two websites and report your sightings, yes, even road victims. So even in their death they can help towards the continuing monitoring and research of these two very welcomed residents of Speyside.
