Multi coloured Crow!

Over the past few years I've noticed black birds, including Blackbirds and Crows, turning white or at least getting odd white feathers in their plumage.

Apparently this is called Leucism and is quite a common genetic condition. There are pure albinos of course but birds with Leucism maintain their other natural colouring such as legs, feet, beak and eyes. I did notice this one appears to have a brown head but I don't know if this is because it is a juvenile bird or not.
