Albino jackdaw.

Saw 2 white blackbirds over the years (albino) and one 1/2 and 1/2 blackbird.

In the days before mobile phones with cameras.

I'm not taking the proverbial, but saw a B/W cat yesterday in the village who had a white face, small moustache and markings looking like hair, parted in the middle.

Could only get a body shot on the phone, am trying to get a good photo of the Hitler cat.

Saw a pure white hare near my home during the real cold winter a couple of years back. There was one spotted in Monaghan aswell. They reckon it was the cold weather that did it. They can change colour if the weather stays cold enough for long enough.

We had an Albino Pheasant on the land last summer.Only saw him twice, I suppose a fox got him as the camouflage wouldn't be great!

Only in snow. Afaik gun clubs may release one or two for the lucky hunter to claim. Maybe get it stuffed

There is a gold crow knocking about my town, little ****er hamgs around the outskirts of my shooting grounds bit never comes in!

We looked for a white pheasant this year to release for next season could not get one and took a melanistic one instead.
The gun that knocks that bird is paying for lunch that day. This forfeit seems a tradition in some clubs with the white birds.

I seen one of these white blackbirds outside roscommon close up about 8 years ago and seen one outside newtownforbes co longford a few weeks ago. They are rare but common enough all the same
