Guernsey stowaway squirrel spotted after a year

A stowaway squirrel is believed to be alive and well - more than a year after the animal was feared to be either dead or captured after suddenly appearing in Guernsey.

The Guernsey Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (GSPCA) said it had received "multiple reports" of the grey squirrel, dubbed Elvis, around the St Sampson's area in recent days.

Elvis is believed to have arrived in Guernsey - which does not have a native squirrel population - via a vehicle in February 2025, but GSPCA manager Steve Byrne said it was "highly likely" something had happened to him.

But recent sightings suggest the squirrel was "healthy, active and extremely fast", the GSPCA said in its latest update.
