Have you seen extraordinarily coloured animals this year?
We've been fascinated by your stories of black foxes, so much so that we're now wondering what other colourful wildlife we have around the UK. We'd like to hear about unusual animals you've spotted that are black, white and any colour in between.
Let us know about them by commenting below, and add your pictures to the or upload your videos to our website.

Not your average colour mallards, but black & white drakes and very pale almost washed out coloured females? And the fact there are more females to males?? I believe this isn't common!
They're still on the pond as a family unit, their mother has been seen with a white duck and a regular mallard, but there's nothing can explain her kids unique colouring?
Now:
Last October:
Either way, we're proud here of their uniqueness :-)

Also only today saw a raven with white wings. It may have been the same one I saw a couple of years ago, but perhaps it was offspring?

We were staying at the Travel Lodge Long Sutton Norfolk!
It was Sunday evening 16th May and the room was looking over fields and woods.
We watched for at least an hour a fully grown hare who was pure white.
It struck me that he was just short of a waistcoat and bow tie!!!!
I have never even seen a hare before and was shocked at how big he was.
It felt like a great privelege and we watched him until dusk prevented viewing.

Now there is a male Blackbird which is piebald, it is about 50% black and 50% white with patches evenly distributed over it's body, like a harlequin pattern, I wonder if it is an offspring of the orininal white patched Blackbird? I'm not sure about colour inheritance, can someone enlighten me?
It's very attractive although other Blackbirds of either sex don't like it at all, and for the last 3 or 4 years we have seen it, it dosn't appear to have had a mate. I will try and get a picture.

One individual - which often seemed to forage alone but appeared perfectly healthy - was a semi-albino (not a complete albino with NO stripes, and not erythristic either). I cannot return there to see whether it or a descendant is still around with similar coloration - which would suggest that a particular gene variation was still present. I can supply more exact directions to the location (but suspect that the land is privately owned).

Can you tell me what creature is causing 3 to 4foot stretches of roadside hedgerow to be stripped bare and then covered with gossama threads. Would it be caterpillas or perhaps baby spiders. These patches can be seen along the A354 both east and west of Milborne St Andrew and many side lanes too in Dorset.
