I like your Blackcap ,we have a white stork at the reserve its been 2 days ,I am pleased to say that the Goldies are now staying with me they are lovely birds

An albino fledgling sparrow !!
I thought it was a house sparrow but I now think it's a dunnock.
Never seen one before. The mother is feeding it but who knows how long it will survive being so conspicuous !

Wow, completely white
Hope it'll be safe (need some snow).
Lovely photos, Mike

Crikey mike, that is so fantastic. Never seen one of those before. Looks like it could be a true albino, as it has pink eyes.
Re: WHAT I SAW TODAY.....
That is certainly a one-off. Well done, Mike - superb shots. Extremely unusual.

Re: WHAT I SAW TODAY.....
Great photos Mike and a terrific spot. Sadly I agree with your assessment of it's future as it may as well have target paintd on it's chest
