Black Squirrel

Black squirrels are (I believe) a sub-specie of the grey squirrel. They are very common in Letchworth, UK and they are spreading east towards Cambridge. We saw this one in our friends garden on Wednesday. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species

I checked out the link but it didn't say anything about black squirrels.

Apparently they are already in Cambridge, but I have only seen them in Letchworth.
