A quick look round on flickr under 'white pheasant' brought up a few shots of identical birds labelled White eared pheasant 
Looks like a collection escapee. |

Many thanks for your help everyone. I live less than a mile from the centre of Wolverhampton, so to see a pheasant of any variety here counts as a rare sighting, but for it to be an albino too is quite remarkable. It beats all those birds I photographed on the Galapogos and in Costa Rica, where exotica is plentiful! As for other strange sightings, a few years back I found a flock of unfamiliar birds feasting on my fallen apples - can't remember what they were now - but it turned out they were en route to somewhere from the Baltics! Thanks again. |
