Winchcombe's White Squirrel

There's a very unusual visitor in the back gardens around Chandos Street / North Street.  If you see something white and fluffy in or around your garden then it may not be a cat.  We think it's a female as she has been seen "frolicking" with a male grey squirrel.  George Rayson, who took this picture using a Nikon Coolpix P300, has also seen a pair of bullfinch recently which we understand is a rare occurrence in a British garden.  We are hoping for a picture of these sometime soon.

If you see our lovely white squirrel then email us on info@winchcombe.co.uk- it will ill be interesting to see how far she travels in search of food.   And if you can send us a photo that would be even better.

Further sightings are reported in Willett Gardens, Greet Road and Gretton Road.  Keep them coming - and look at the piece on the website too about the idea of establishing a "Nature Notebook".
