Re: Leucistic Birds have you seen any ?

We used to have a leucistic blackbird as a regular garden visitor. He was well known locally and was nicknamed "Jacko". Haven't seen him in quite a while now but I think I've got a picture somewhere. If I can find it I'll post it up later.

Blackbirds seem to be the most common ones on this thread. Is this because they're more prone to leucism or just because they are (probably) the most common British bird?
