Leucistic House Sparrow

First time I have ever seen a House Sparrow with this morph-ism , quite a striking bird when viewed with the flock of normal coloured birds

Thanks Kev , a first for me but I have seen quite a few different species with this genetic disorder but never a sparrow until this one . Had a nice Leucistic chaffinch in the garden a few ago which was also a first for me.

That's a nice house sparrow. a friend of ours sent me some I Phone pics a few motnhs ago asking for an ID. It too turned out to be the same.

They have a snow bunting appearance don't they?

Well spotted and nicely captured.

Very nice yet unusual. I have seen Blackbirds like this

Cracking shot by the way
