The Leucistic Oystercatcher Returns!
SashaQ writes: In December 2023 I visited Titchfield Haven and spotted a leucistic Oystercatcher (an Oystercatcher with patchy white blotches on its head and back instead of all-black back plumage). When I visited the reserve a year later, the bird was there again! Lovely to see.
