Actually these two cases of aberrantly pale Woodchat Shrikes from Bulgaria
pertained to the so-called mutations "brown" and "dilution". We succeeded in
finding these birds in two consecutive years in distantly placed areas in
the country.
Except for these two birds we found only one other previously recorded pale
*L. senator*, from Africa (Mali).
The above-described cases were published in "Dutch Birding" magazine (the
exact reference is given in table under each of the large photo versions in
our web-site). For those interested, I could send pdf-version via email.
Greetings from Bulgaria!
