Report sightings

If you live in Tayside and have seen a squirrel, red or grey, please tell us about it. It is very important that we build up an accurate picture of where the squirrels are, especially the greys, so we can work out how and where best to help protect the reds.

We have provided some tools in the reporting form to help you ensure your sighting report is as accurate as possible.

Red Grey

It's really important that you provide a grid reference for your sighting e.g. NO 115 235. To do this quickly, use the getamap tool. Enter a place name or postcode then click Go. You can use the compass to move about and the+ circles to zoom in or out. Once you have found your sighting location, click Re-centre then look for the 'Grid reference at centre' text (3rd line displayed below the map in the middle) and you have your reference!
