mattyg 1,862 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Used to have a male with white patches visit our garden for 2 years, I'm guessing he was an easy target for the local spar. Lovely things though! Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gilbey 1,485 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 Seen a white cock blackbird, the fist time it had black feathers in its wings and tail but moulted to nearly all white apart from a few black tail feathers, think its been nabbed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HedgeCrawler 224 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 It's definitely a strange one and looks to have got a mate although I've yet to see there of spring to see if it's the albino gene. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
