Albino Bulbul
Sometime back we found this albino bulbul being mobbed by a group of babblers. We rescued him and handed him over to Richard who nursed him back to heath. He was a regular visitor to Richards house for some weeks before finally disappearing hopefully in to the jungle.
Here he is ..sitting on Richards finger, lost in thoughts..

Thank you for your kind appreciation of my previous posts.

I've never seen an albino in the wild, only in a local zoo, where they have several. An interesting phenomenon, thanks for sharing JP!
