| |  White squirrel
Hi
Spotted this site when searching white squirrel info'. For the last 2 evenings I have seen a white squirrel in the garden. Tried to get a picture but no luck yet. Is it an albino? may be wrong but it's eyes looked normal, ie dark/brown?
How rare are these, I have lived here 30 years (S. Bucks) and we get plenty of squirrels, but this is the first white one I've seen. Any other members seen any - be interested in any news. Is it something the local press wold be interested in?

Welcome to WAB Tony, don't know how rare a white squirrel is but there are lots if incidents of albinos in nature.

Hi all
Thanks for your warm welcomes.
I think I have solved my mystery visitor thanks to RobinP. See White Squirrel in mammal thread. It could be a leucistic squirrel (no I had never heard of them either). Need to get a good look at his eyes to be certain. He came again today but as I was at work I did not see him, but my wife did.
Any will keep you posted and hope to have a picture soon.

There's been a couple of threads on white squirrels lately. If I have a mo tomorrow, I'll see if I can find the threads where we discussed them. I remember this as I have seen a few white squirrels myself down here on the East Sussex/Kent borders
Oh - and a very warm welcome to the forum, Tony!
