Sorry about the poor picture quiality, but this was well past a reasonable zoom level for my phone.
Apparently, bout 1 in 100k squirrels are born with albinism, which given there are millions of squirrels in the UK alone means there are likely tens of them in the country at any one time. Saw this one in the same park a few times a few years back.
Squirrel looks like it is busy foraging! How lucky to have seen it several times before.
Thank you for sharing the info about Albino Squirrels, I wasn't aware of those facts.
(should just point out this isn't my photo or details - just a crosspost)
Thank you for pointing it out and of course crossposting, love this kind of content! 🐿️
I've posted my crappy albino squirrel photo in the original comments 🐿️
Oh, it looks like it is either digging up its secret stash or burying it where no one can see!
Thank you for linking, fun to see them in motion always!
I think it was probably just running away from me!
Could be hehe, I heard they are shy little creatures.
