"The red squirrel is one of Britain's most treasured native creatures, but it's also one of its most endangered.
A project aims to provide red squirrels with a brand new home in the Isle of Scilly where there are currently no grey squirrels.
A group of red squirrels from the British Wildlife Centre in Surrey was transported to Cornwall and then flown by helicopter from RNAS Culdrose to Tresco Abbey Gardens in September 2013".

But the ones you may see are southern softie squirrels from Surrey Chalky.

Not in the same league as a genuine Cumbrian red.
