After seeing the unusual rodent, only one out of 100,000 albinos born in Alfriston Park decided to record the sightings and point out the obvious critical points for them in the county.
A website he's creating is now recording Whitescaper sightings across the UK, and Claire has asked for help to investigate why there seem to be so many across the country.

Scientists are investigating what would happen if we are looking for metals at the bottom of the ocean.
They are particularly interested in cobalt, a major component of rechargeable batteries in phones and electric cars.
As more and more of us abandon fossil fuels, the demand for cobalt is even greater.
But what harm could the exploitation of the seabed do to marine life?

13-year-old Ranniel left school to feed his family. Now he risks his life by diving into polluted waters to reclaim plastic waste, the result of an a la carte and disposable plastic harvest that is devastating to the environment.

Many of us find it difficult to know which items can be recycled if we sort our garbage at home. Machines in sorting plants can have the same problem. This prevents many countries from achieving the desired recycling rates.
But a new "invisible barcode" technology is being tested to solve the problem.
The test involves a consortium of some of the world's leading brands, including Procter & Gamble, Nestlé and PepsiCo, which were put together by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a non-profit organization to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.

The Bloodhound is both a racing car and a spaceship. A team from the UK hopes it will eventually become the fastest car in the world.
He reached a speed of 500 km / h on Wednesday in a series of tests in South Africa. But there is still at least a year left to break the record speed of 1,228 km / h.
And the straight-lined corridor built in the UK will eventually reach 1,000 miles an hour.
The BBC met with RAF Bloodhound driver Andy Green to find out how the car works and what it looks like to drive.
