Rare albino squirrel seen in a corner of the St Martin's churchyard in Dorking. He is about 1 foot long, nose to end tail and quite happy to be photographed from a distance. Albi met an unhappy end in October 2009 when, like many urban rodents, he was run over. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/surrey/8374874.stm
