Albino/leucistic Welcome Swallows at Werribee

By Birding-Aus, on February 4th, 2011

Hi all,

I was at the Western Treatment Plant today and saw 2 albino/leucistic Welcome Swallows. The first was seen at the locked gate at the Little River end of Paradise Road. It was perched on the wire mesh adjacent to the gate. The second bird was seen at the 15 E outlet on a structure with a swallow’s nest built on it. Photos of both birds can be seen at https://picasaweb.google.com/melbournebirding/Werribee4thFeb2010#

Cheers, Paul Hackett

  Hi Paul,

  We had one at WTP on January the 1st – but absolutely pure white and was perpetually being mobbed and harrassed by the other swallows.

  Cheers,

  Ed
