thankyou so much...very interesting read :-) I didn't think was an Albino as its eyes were not red. Hadn't heard of Leucism before Oh..i have alot to learn :-)

Nice finding! I think you can safely add kookaburra to the heading name (in place of unknown spotting). Soon some people will propose you some ID for the species name :-)
