Leucistic Red Kites visit Welsh farm ( www.birdguides.com )
Three different leucistic Red Kites have been seen at Gigrin Farm, Radnorshire, where a raptor feeding station is a popular attraction.
Leucism is a condition of reduced pigmentation resulting in unusually pale plumage in birds. The bare parts and the eyes are unaffected, unlike in albinism where these areas appear pale pink.
