"White" Oystercatcher

[Barry Davies <>]

I just remembered that when I was in Collingwood near Farewell Spit in 
NZ in February I photographed a partially white ie leucistic (thanks 
Nickolas) Oystercatcher. It was in a mixed flock of SIPOs and Variables 
but which spp it was (hopefully still is) I don't know. I have posted 
the photos with the White Babblers on  http://photobucket.com/

Nickolas, am I correct in assuming that the Stellar's Jay in your 
presentation was  suffering from vitiligo not leucism and that the 
Babblers and presumably the Oystercatcher being leucistic will not 
change progressively?
Regards,
Barry Davies
