We
live in West Malling Kent and we have a pair of the white sqirrels
in our garden. They vist every morning to feed along with the
birds and other grey & red squirrels. Are they an endagered
or new breed?

We
saw an albino squirrel on Jan 2 '05, thought it was one too
many New Year sherries at first, during a walk in fields around
Lower Hardres near Canterbury.

I
can't believe that I spotted this article today. Yesterday,
as I was driving home, I saw a white animal dash across the
street in front of my car. Everything about its movements made
me think it was a squirrel - but a white one? Now I know I might
not have been seeing things. This spotting was in Great Bookham,
Surrey.

On
a trip near to my home in Polegate East Sussex recently I was
delighted to spot an albino squirrel, had a friend not been
with me I would have doubted my sanity. But there it was, large
as life and beautiful. It dashed across a very narrow back road,
in front of my car, fortunately I wasn't travelling fast as
this is a notorious piece of road, and it leapt into the hedge
to our left. What a wonderful moment, I had never heard of albino
squirrels until I emailed the Wildlife Trust and it seems they
are quite common, but nonetheless very pretty.
Sadly I had no camera with me, and besides it was over in a
moment, but will stay in our memories.

spotted a white squirrel crossing a lane between Hastinglea
and Waltham, on North Downs above Wye in Kent today. No chance
to see if albino or not.

the trees near to the car park.

I
saw one over the road from the Portsmouth Museum in the park
by Portsmouth University Library, unfortunately this probably
means its crossing the busy road! I'm glad you're cataloging
the sightings my so called "friends" don't believe
me.

Editors note: Mat,

down the list, you'll see
someone else spotted your squirrel too! So now you can tell
your mates you have back-up!

spotted an Albino Squirrel while out walking in Redhill on 4th

in some bushes beside the road. First one I had ever seen never
knew they existed before.

I saw a white squirrel yesterday! At first I thought it was
a ferret - but got close enough to see it was definitely a squirrel!!!

We've
had Albino squirrels in this village for a few years. Last year
a female regularly came and fed in my garden - and once brought
a small grey baby with her. This year the one who has turned
up here seems to be a male. He is quite tame - and I have taken
many photos and video too of him. I am told there are quite
a few here in the village but I have never seen more than one
at a time. They are true albino's with pink eyes - but unlike
white cats do NOT appear to be deaf. Click

We
have regularly seen a white squirrel in the copse behind the
second green on Redhill Golf Course, in the grounds of East
Surrey Hospital. It, or a relative, has been there for at least
the five years that we have been playing there. Perhaps it's
related to the one at Nutfield? Wendy

I
have seen one twice this year at the West End of the "Down"
near St Francis Close. Bexhill-on -Sea. Near Junction with West
Down Rd. It seems to inhabit a very large fir tree there. It's
not the first year this has happened but I haven't seen one
for some time.

London.

Just
spotted the latest arrival, a true albino with pink eyes this
morning. Appears to be the maiden journey from the nest with
Mom. Beautiful and white as snow. Very skiddish upon any noise.
Wow, what a sight.

It
was early morning in September when I was preparing to go to
school when I an white squirrel ran across our drive and up
a tree. Later that day when I came home it popped its head out
of a bush. My teacher mentioned today an albino squirrel had
been seen on the playground of my school 2 miles from my house.
Could it be the same one?

An
Albino Squirrel just popped over our back fence (1830 hrs, 05/07/04)
- much to our cat's delight. We have never seen this little
fellow before. Luckily for it the cat just missed catching hold
of it. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a photo - too busy
chasing off the cat!

I
have seen a pure white squirrel today may 12th in my garden
at Dragons Green, West Sussex. It was playing very near me with
ma and pa, and two other grey babies, not a bit shy either,
it had pink eyes, and was a little bit smaller than its brothers
or sisters. the funny thing is our house is called Nutkins Copse
so perhaps squirrel nutkin is out there somewhere???. this sighting
is recorded on my camera and if they come out I will forward
a photo to you. it was 7.15a.m. and I stood and watched them
play for a good half an hour,(in my nightie and anorak)!! hope
this is of interest to you. I was fascinated by it.

I
see a white squirrel every day opposite the main gates at Hastings
college of arts and technology. It lives in the garden of an
old peoples home so i guess it must be getting on a bit.

I
saw an albino squirrel in the Crystal Palace area this morning
(4/2/04) in the gardens of some flats just off Farquhar Road.
It ran accross the path just a couple of yards in front of me.
I went back to the same place a couple of hours later with a
camera but could not find it! Looking at the other locations
of sightings, it seems that South London is a hotspot for
albino squirrels!
Ashley Prodgers |

Amazed
this morning to see an all white squirrel crossing the road
and scampering up a tree near Biddenden vineyards close to Tenterden.
Stopped the car and sat watching with my two daughters. It felt
unreal and then very special to witness one of these beautiful
animals so close. Will keep the camera to hand for the future.

We
have a white squirrel living in the woods near our home. It
has been around for a couple of years and has recently ventured
out from the woods into a nearby field where we saw it burying
its acorns with such energy and meticulous attention to detail.
Wonderful!

I
have seen what I believe to be a white squirrel living in woodland
near my home.
This particular squirrel does not have the pink eyes commonly
associated with albino squirrels but brown/black eyes. It was
about 8-10 inches long from head to tail. I have never seen
one before and am having great difficulty persuading friends
that it was a squirrel and not a stoat or weasel or even polecat.
Did my eyes deceive me or is this creature real. I would be
grateful for any help you can give me on this.

is that weasels are weasily recognisable and stoats are stoatily
different....he he he. |

There
is a white squirrel living in The Wickets (west part) in Burgess
Hill. He/She have been there since late summer when we first
spotted it. We have some recently taken pictures as well.

My
wife and I both saw an albino squirrel in Beddington Park, Wallington,
Sutton in about 1995. Couldn't believe our eyes. Never heard
about them again until I saw your item
about Persil. I had a camera with me at the time and always
regret not getting a photo of it, didn't realise until now they
are so rare.
Michael Cowley |
| |
Thought
you would be the people to tell about a pure white squirrel
seen several times in the Farlington area of Portsmouth. It
seems this is an unusual animal. Is it rare enough to interest
you? I will read your articles
on Persil now I have found them.
