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 !

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.

That is certainly a one-off. Well done, Mike - superb shots. Extremely unusual.

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
