Squirrel groups in Cramlington and Bedlington say it is the first outbreak for several years.

Jim Jermyn has been photographing the white squirrel in his garden for about a year.

A survey shows red squirrel numbers are holding up but more sites are seeing the invasive greys.

The tech is being used to automatically control the creatures' access to feeders at sites across the UK.

The group says the native red population is only just hanging on and could soon disappear.

Conservatives says Peanut is a victim of government overreach, but officials say they acted on rabies concerns.

New York authorities say Peanut the Squirrel bit a person while it was being confiscated this week.

The groups protect red squirrels by trapping greys but say some are released and equipment damaged.
