There has been another sighting of a rare albino squirrel in Kent.

This time the furry friend was spotted foraging in a Maidstone car park.

A member of Maidstone Borough Council's Parking Operations team caught the beady eyed squirrel on camera as it bounded through leaves by the Sittingbourne Road car park.

Squirrels don't hibernate and a slightly more mild couple of days has given a chance for the little rodents to go out in search of food they've hidden away for the winter months.

The last sighting of an albino squirrel in Kent was in Chatham back in November.

Vinters Park near Maidstone used to have its own bushy-tailed icon, but he tragically passed away in the summer of 2018.
