Leucistic Blackbird

I was so pleased to see this blackbird in the tree in my back garden today, we had one visiting last Spring but I haven’t seen it for a long time, I wonder if it is the same one? Leucism is a genetic condition causing a partial loss of pigmentation, this blackbird is probably more white than black but very beautiful nevertheless.

Checked back to last year and I blipped the same, or another similar bird in the garden on 13 March 2022
