They seam to live in certain areas , once you catch one , i've found it's very likely to catch others on the same piece off ground . More often than not it's sivers or apricot coloured rather than albinos though, so yes they are rare.

I caught a 'yellowy', one, once,(got too be more than 15 year ago)...on a local estate. Gave it too 'Adrian Johnstone', taxidermist (darlington), for mounting,.....(but i already bought 2 or 3, normal coloured ones , off him, before that ?,...so the novelty, of 'paying', for another , had wore off ! lol),....im back on that estate now (in recent years),....never had another,....(alot less moles, these days, though )

Think it's a genetic thing. I've seen the same thing with mink. Only ever caught two silver mink. Both were caught in the same location. Thing is, I caught the second one 19 years after the first.
