England's last wild red squirrels may be hemmed in by their grey cousins - but they're still leaping free in their own woodlands.

Photographer Simon Phillpotts from Wensleydale, North Yorkshire took the pictures as part of a project celebrating the agile skills of Yorkshire's red squirrel population.
