The Mound, Embo (near Dornoch) Scotland (1 Viewer)

Watched and snapped some birds at a feeder (24/8/18), and can't ID the bird on the right of the feeder at the bottom. Been through Collins, Google and the Forum Stickies, and none the wiser. My thought was leucistic chaffinch, however in the 2nd pic there appears to be another bird with similar colouration on the back of the same feeder (can only see tail sticking out). From pic1 it looks like the flying siskin is maybe headed that way...?

I have not altered the pix in any way, other than to crop. Pic 2 is blurry, apologies. Left in the other birds for size comparison. Apologies also for my ignorance if a common bird.

Thanks

Ian

It is a leucistic Chaffinch it's been around for a couple of years now.

Many thanks Dean - been hectic, but in my head to do you a list of wildlife encountered on recent visit.
