targus - i thought you must do, it must be very rewarding.
the welsh red kite site it very interesting, although it does describe the white kites as leucistic, does this mean they are a very light yellow?
quote:
Leucistic means that the colouration is mainly pure white and not the usual reds and blacks of a 'normal' kite. Leucism differs from albinism in that pigment is not entirely absent - in most cases it is at least retained in the eyes. This Leucistic individual is mainly white, and has blue eyes - not to be confused for Albino which means the lack of colouring evidenced by pink eyes. |
