Not the same as white wallabies but got some pics of a white otter my Mrs took on a salmon River in Scotland on 1 of my old phones somewhere, looks like a giant ferret

Got a few pictures of otter on a trail cam of mine , nice animals can ruin a fishery rather quickly mind 

I think your FEO is wrong , as I understand it all birds and animals are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 unless they are a game species which have seasons or a pest species cover

Diane Abbott ? she has history of being bad with numbers ?

Had this since 2017 never made a video about it though as I,m not after fame and fortune unlike your man, one of the problems people have with him he just takes other people’s hard work to further his career and if there not willing to give him stuff that they have worked for he turns on them using his media platform,, it’s a two way street despite you wanting to promote him as some kind of truth guru

I just like his content, he gets out, puts in the mileage and he is entertaining, I am not trying to promote him as anything, I enjoy his YouTube channel.

Ok, first off the Tread is Racoons, but we all know things digress!!!

What is that picture meant to prove, it could be taken anywhere, including a Wildlife park.

And what is the issue if someone has evidence of ANY no indigenous species in the UK, what is the big secret, what's with the non stop, I've got evidence but I can't show you??!!   WHY don't they want to share, there are a mass of people who would be fascinated!?

I’ll try to explain something that I have tried to explain over and over again throughout these threads that a small group of people just don’t seem to be able to grasp, A if you lived or worked on a large private estate and managed to take a clear picture of something amazing I,e a very rare bird or other exotic animal but there were features in the pic that would give its location away would you then publicise it and invite the world and there mates to invade your privacy ??. and B I have been given lots of stuff from pics to documents and perms to put cameras on land from members on this site but they ask to be kept out of the shite that comes my way would you again A betray there trust for a few likes or honour your word in the hope your trust opens more doors for you, I obviously don’t no were everyone else’s morals stand but I like to be true to my word and lastly all ownership rights are lost the minute something goes online it really is that simple no conspiracy just common decency and morals

Lets assume for a moment I believe that!!

So, you are NEVER going to prove Big Cats or anything else exists in the UK, so what are you doing on these threads, as you have no evidence you are willing to show!

Nobody is interested in ......I have loads of evidence but I am keeping it a secret!

Your stance and reply just show you want to make some kind of point scoring argument rather than have any real interest in the subject and then you and others start to get all offended when I get pissed off with your stupidity, why don’t you just try to answer one thing honestly, if a member off of here contacted you through a p,m and said I have something you are interested I am willing to show you but ask you to keep it to yourself, would you betray them to get some likes, I think the answer is clear with some people here, it’s a lovely day I have tried to explain to you how you deal with it is up to you enjoy your day ?

What stance, I would be/am very happy to see some evidence of non indigenous species in the UK, and I am not interested in any point scoring.    Once again you completely ignore the contents of my post and start on the insulting.  If you have nothing to add and want to keep everything you have a secret, it's fine by me, but kindly go away as you obviously have nothing to add to this thread!

I haven't seen one for a long time but certainly into my early twenties when l was still knocking about with a friend from school   feral wallabies were a regular sight.

He lived on a farm which was part of the demesne of a country house and park. 

One night he staggered home after an evening at the pub and  blundered into a wallaby in his porch. In his drunken state and it being a pitch black night it took a moment for him to realise just what the  creature was that was  scrabbling to get past him . 

In the morning it was realised that the wallaby had been raiding his mum's vegetable rack. 

This population is well documented along with  other feral populations in Sussex. 

There was an equally well known contemporary population in Derbyshire . 

The Estate still keeps wallabies but they are now part of a well secured tourist attraction .

I've not heard of any feral sightings for a while  but l doubt wallabies would fare well against the rising deer population in the area.

It seems that existing and extinct feral wallaby populations  always centre on the point of release or escape rather than expand range .

Low birth and high infant mortality rates and snow seem to be  natural population limiters.
