Unusual Willie Wagtail

[brian fleming <>]

  I think a population of Willy Wagtails at the WTP with leucistic 
individuals  has been present for at least 20 years.
  Back in the days when we used to enter by Farm Rd, on BOC outings we 
always used to stop by the stockyards to look for them. I only once saw 
a bird which was nearly all white, but saw several with dilute brownish 
colouring or with extra white in the plumage - or both.  Most birds at 
this location were normal, but there were often one or two with abnormal 
markings.
  Someone should ask Fred Smith about this.
