Black Squirrels

Yep, often used to see them around Woburn when I was in that neck of the woods. Saw a couple of whities there as well once but they didn't last long as  good mate of mine was keen to have a couple of them stuffed and mounted. This gave me opportunity, motive, and I certainly had the means, so they fell over.

Black ones, white ones and just about everything in-between .. they're all just colour variants of the common grey squirrel. Not, as some folks think, a different species.

There are hundreds around the NW fringes of London but specifically Ruislip woods and out through Harefield and Chalfont. They are not actually black they are very much darker grey and its a natural mutation. Some can appear brownish causing people to think they have seen a red squirrel.

First one I noticed was about ten years ago
