Albino Oystercatcher

From Geoff & Barbara Lammas - About midday today walking on the cliff top
(Pembs.Coastal Path) from St Brides Haven northwards in the direction of Little Haven
 ,spotted an ALBINO OYSTERCATCHER. It being more or less low tide it was on the
exposed rocks below in Warey Haven(GR806 116).The bird was almost completely white.
The only black being on the outer most wing feathers.  All the other features of the
bird were as we would have expected. We watched it for several minutes.
Unfortunately,it did not fly and because of the strong sun we could not distinguish
much about the eye.
