A recent survey shows a slight increase in the number of reds and a fall in the number of greys across south Scotland.
As Katie Hunter reports there has also been a rise in red squirrel sightings:
60-year-old Frank Robertson doused Vaughan Livesey in flammable fluid which he lit with a 10-inch blow torch flame inside the victim's shop.
A fundraising page created by a Lake District chef, who died following the London Marathon, has seen donations top £90,000.
29-year-old Matt Campbell collapsed after running 22.5 miles. He received medical treatment at the scene, but died later in hospital.
