"white" Red Kite
Probably my best photograph of this raptor, and shot with an inexpensive kit lens.
The Leucistic or "white" Red Kite photographed at Gigrin farm, Rhayader. It's unusual colour is caused by a rare genetic mutation which prevents normal pigmentation of the feathers resulting in predominantly white or pale plumage.
