Hi again, Steve!

If I'm right about the bird being albinistic, then I should add that such birds 
are very rare. 

A few years back I sold some framed photos, of the albinistic red neck grebes 
that I found, to an ornithologist. He told me that he'd studied grebes, as a 
speciatly, for 30 years and never seen such a bird!

So, if I'm right, you are a lucky man, indeed!

Sadly, such birds (an animals) suffer a much higher mortality rate, for they 
lack the colour meant to camouflage them, when it's needed.

David.
