There's three pictures in the Gallery Michael.

You've a leucistic European Robin here - you'll see the white is completely replacing where the red would be.

Pretty rare, I'd think - I've never seen one. What a great find.

Pictures from Ray? or just Leucistic Robin pictures? I can't find pictures of a UK Robin with a white chest either way |

Re..

Thanks for the feedback guys... he seems to be quite at home for the time being... its quite funny to watch his behaviour, he seems to be very territorial towards his "patch".. much more so than the Red Breasted ones... I dont know if thats a quirk of the white breasted ones... but hes like a red breasted one but with a chip on his shoulder.. :-O
Ill have another go at some more pics next weekend (if he is still about)...
