Red squirrels are native to the UK, but have been largely replaced by the grey squirrel (scurelous canadensis), which are pests. I've certainly killed my fair share of greys with fenn traps, air rifles, 22lr, and shotties.
Reds are, or were, only found in Cumbria, Northumbria and Scotland, Maybe also Lake District.
Nice to see such a beautiful photo of a red.
