An elusive creature that has spread quickly across Britain with a lot of help from people transporting it. The map does not include two animals seen on Skomer in in Autumn 1993, one of which survived until the following spring. These may have been rehabilitated animals put on the island as a safe haven, although such a practice is considered unethical. The animals would never have been native there, so should not have been introduced.

There have been no records since 2000
