At first sight you could almost say it was a Ring Ouzel, however the build was too stocky and it was not wary. so I am sure it is a partial albino Blackbird, you can actually see hints of other light coloured feathers. It was feeding on the cliff above Preston Sands near Paignton this evening and the light was fading hence the poor quality shot. Of interest is that there are also several partial albino Carrion Crows in the area as well.

I think the sun is reflecting on it's lighter patch Len. Interesting though
