I misread and overlooked the first sentence. I had visions of seals hovering over the road! Then I read it properly

For me a lot of pheasants in Hammer Wood , Chithurst W.Sussex including one all-dark green cock bird (I cannot tell if a melanistic one ,which is a mutation, or a "Japanese Green" which are bred from the "Kiji" subspecies from Japan) It was in company with a regular torquatus (Chinese ring-necked) type
And then an all-white cock too! That gave me quite a start as it ran out of cover just infront of me. I'm not sure if it's strictly albino as it still had the red head-sides
