I came across this partial albino Jackdaw in Lytham today. I've never seen one quite so speckled looking.

Nice bird! I suppose though being completely white it was immediately obvious that it was an oddity rather than a rarity? When I saw the speckled Jackdaw, for a fraction of a second the old heart missed a beat :eek!:

I did consider calling it a partially melanistic Daurian Jackdaw.....:-O

I once saw quite a few partially albinistic Jackdaws in a flock in the outskirts of Liverpool.
