Probably right Jarvid.

Apparently they are a bit rare.

Last thing I need in my life, is a whole bunch of bird fanciers turning up at my house to see the white Blackbird.

Let's just keep this to ourselves.

BBC Nature - All-white blackbird photographed

I have decided to call him "Blackie"

And given the time of year; I guess he's getting a bit of a hard time from his Blackbird mates:


"All of the other Blackbird's
Used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Blackie
Join in any Blackbird games"

Sorry to disappoint Hamlin and Drewski; you just need to remember guys ; that sometimes in "The Saloon" that the owls are not what they may seem.

 

In that writeup;

Site manager John Clegg said: "This bird has been steadily turning whiter over the years and last summer it was completely white."

also

Leucistic birds are often very vulnerable to predators, because of their bright white plumage.

I have noticed that over the years, my hair has been turning whiter and whiter. Now I fear that I may be stricken with the same affliction that that damn bird has. I can only pray that I don't fall pray to an 85 year old cougar who is on the hunt for fresh 60 year old meat.

Gentlemen, I am now shaking in my boots......

 

Here you go TBT, nightmares complimentary by me

 

I can only hope TBT that nature has provided you with the same protection that I have against cougar attacks.

Unattractiveness; a major cougar turnoff.

I'm safe to go camping then
I can't speak for Sprock though..........................
His pink T shirt may make him look like a snack.......

 

^^^^^

Yeah well - lets just say a camping trip with you would never be a good idea !

As for the Cougar Protection apparently it's all to do with alcohol consumption basically
if an old doll keeps buying you beer etc. .....give her Shadows phone number
