Ah, yes, well
Earlier this evening while walking near the low cliff edge in Folkestone we saw a very unusual bird the like I've not seen before?
It had the jizz of a willow warbler/chiffy but was a striking pale sand colour merging to almost pure white on the tail? It was feeding on insects on the seed heads of umbilicus(?) type plants in a typical WW fashion but it stood out against the green and browning foliage like sore thumb! I had no bins or camera with me sadly but the bird was less 25' away and seemed quite unmoved by our presence
I've seen pictures of leucistic warblers before but none coloured like this odd critter?
What else could it have been?
