leucistic european robin ( erithacus rubecula ) - Blizzard Christmas Magic !

Wow wow wow!! 2.5 yrs ago the robin at my old hide had 5 young unfortunately rats were seen killing 2 of the remaining 3 ,2 were leucistic 1 not a lot i called Storm the other an absolute beauty of a bird I called Blizzard.

Well after they had grown they were chased off by their parents and luckily 1 of the little whites went 200 yds to a friend lotty plot for a few weeks but disappeared.

Now my new place is the other side of the ground quite a distance away I have been there since last March and its affectionately know as the paddock hide.

Well yesterday I went down with the dogs and the camera and after an hour who should appear but Blizzard cant tell you how happy I am and to top it all as well as it being almost Christmas today is national robin day you I'm extremely happy to see my old friend (how old do robins live esp when their bright white) and I have a male sparrowhawk on the prowl?

What a delight just like to wish my flickr friends a very Merry Christmas and I really hope old blizzard becomes a regular fixture .
