“Leucism in birds is a genetic mutation that results in a total or partial reduction of colour in a bird’s plumage. This intriguing phenomenon occurs because pigments are deposited only in the feathers of birds, leading to a striking appearance that can vary widely among species. The affected feathers may appear white, pale, or mottled, depending on the extent of the gene’s influence. Interestingly, while the feathers show this alteration, other parts of the bird’s body, including the beak, legs, and skin, maintain their normal colouration.”
I spotted this white Starling while out for a walk on Calshot Spit

That is amazing. I have not seen total leucism before, just partial in the case of an American Robin.
