(Milvus milvus) I was really thrilled to be able to photograph this wild leucistic red kite on a recent trip to Mid Wales. Apparently it is a youngster and started appearing at the farm around December time. There are only about 10 of these birds known in the world and three of them have been seen at Gigrin Farm! Leucism is an animal condition in which there is partial loss of pigmentation resulting in white, pale, or patchy coloration of feathers, skin or hair. It is not albinism as they lack the red/pink eyes of a true albino.
