Two new wardrobes a year.

Red squirrels moult their ear tufts once a year - so at the moment there's a lot of bald ears. They will grow back within the next few weeks. They'll be sporting new tufts ready for winter.

They are moulting their tails now too - again they do that once a year. The body fur is moulted in Spring and Autumn.

Here I am in camouflage clothing, tracking red squirrels.
