I had heard of albino white squirrels but until yesterday had never seen one. This one was skittering about all over the place, but eventually remained still long enough for me to grab this picture.
Several of its grey cousins were around. They are so used to humans that they approach visitors, holding out their paws. This one was soon devouring its reward.
Pictures taken in Gildredge Park in Eastbourne, Sussex. It was a sunny February day, about 9ºC.
After that, the Lamb Inn which dates from the year 1180 although obviously this is not the original building!
Just along the road is the parish church of Eastbourne, St Mary the Virgin, parts of which date from the late 12th century.
Some more Eastbourne. The area to the west of the town centre has the more agreeable suburbs that grew in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Part of the town history says that during that time the townspeople lobbied the railway company not to have cheap fares to Eastbourne so as to deter the low classes from coming down.
Also west of the town is the Royal Eastbourne golf course, founded in 1887. Parts of the course offer fine views over the town.
The old and the new side by side. Having taken this picture, I cannot figure out which church this on the skyline!
The seafront and pier were busy with people enjoying the very pleasant afternoon sunshine.
