White House Sparrow (1 Viewer)

About September 2019 I spotted a White looking House Sparrow in my back garden. It turned out to be a Leucistic variety of the species. I was reliably informed by the RSPB (Scotland) that it wasn't an Albino, as it didn't have pink eyes. I continued to see it regularly feeding on most days in the garden until about a month ago and haven't seen it since. Has anybody else out there seen one of these birds - I'm not sure how rare they are. I've added a few photos to give you an idea of it's appearance.

Never seen it in a sparrow, but have seen it in a Barn Owl, this one was pure white with no brown feathers at all, so probably leucistic like yours.

Hope you don't mind the picture being added to your thread.

Not at all.

This is what is called Leucism and it happens to a lot of birds. You might want to do a google search to learn more about it.
