    She is a beauty isn't she. I think they probably have two litters a year.(Not sure though)

    It does sound late. I googled it and I found this from a council website:

    "There are two breeding seasons each year. The first litters are born in late
    February and March, after a gestation period of about 45 days. The
    young, which are weaned at 10 weeks old, leave the nest (called a drey)
    between April and June. The second litters arrive in June and July,
    leaving the nest during August and September. They do not hibernate"

    ...which means that she rather on the late side :-)

    I forgot to say - a couple of nice shots - very clear, and interesting to see a 'mum'.
