Attractive piebald, grey squirrel seen in Somerset, England
An attractive piebald grey squirrel, with a dark, russet head, silver white back and sides and grey tail was photographed by Dennis Hawker feeding on a bird table in Somerset, England in June 2010 – the photograph has been placed in the Gallery. Apparently, the squirrel has been a regular visitor to the garden during the summer. It would be interesting to know if anyone else has seen unusually coloured squirrels, other than albino and dark or melanic forms.
