Heathern. | Heathern..
I too would be interested in any replies to your question quoted..no replies yet.?.Posie | I work on an old 'contaminated' gasworks site and have seen no leucistic birds in the vicinity - not that I get much of a chance - no windows to speak of! I still see a few birds whilst walking on and off site. Usually see (apart from feral pigeons) blackbirds, magpies, house-sparrows, chaffinches, wood pigeons and (before I gave up smoking and used to hang out in the smoking shelter) the occasional robin.

Nige | Not sure if it still counts as leucistic, but it's certainly different |

That's a real cracker Charles- never seen one like that- almost ghostly in appearance. |
