We saw this guy on Keith Wilson Road at Lickman Road in the Hazelnut grove in the morning on Feb 22. There are two feathers in each wing that are white and only visible when it flies. Does anyone have any information about this? We went back later to try and get another photo but it had moved on. Apologies for the poor quality of the photo.

Neat sighting!! Every now and then one will see a bird with some albino feathers but they are not common. Usually they are random feathers on the body. In a bird such as a crow, they really stand out! Interesting how it looks like two secondaries on both wings have the white feather. Almost looks symmetrical!

Thanks for the iformation! It was very symmetrical, when we saw it from a distance, our first reaction was that cannot be a magpie there isn't enough white, what can it be. When we saw it was a crow we were amazed.
