This white (leucistic) red kite was at Llandeusant today.
Leucistic means that the colouration is mainly pure white and not the usual reds and blacks of a 'normal' kite. Leucism differs from albinism in that pigment is not entirely absent - in most cases it is at least retained in the eyes. This Leucistic individual is mainly white, and has blue eyes - not to be confused for Albino which means the lack of colouring evidenced by pink eyes.
This pic was taken as he flitted through a brief bit of sunshine.

Superb detail Andy....must drag myself along there again sometime.
The feeding area is being re-organised to take out the front fence, which I think will be a great improvement for 'toggers, but it's taking a long time to complete.
