Man Captures Photos Of One Of Country's 50 Rare Albino Squirrels

A father captured a series of extraordinary pictures of a rare albino squirrel outside his house. Richard Waugh, 51, was thrilled when he spotted the white squirrel scampering around outside his flat in Edinburgh. The rare squirrel named Lexy has become a regular visitor to the garden.

'She is quite cheeky, sometimes she just runs off with a couple of cheeky glances back from the trees, other times it's like she is sitting posing for photos. 'She seems to get on well enough with the other wildlife. 'She's pretty fast on her feet and she gives as good as she gets when she if she is getting bullied.' Albino squirrels are believed to have sight and hearing problems, making life in the wild very difficult for them.
