Description

believed to be an albino sparrow or a canary, in centre, with many sparrows (with which it lands, feeds and flies when disturbed), believed to be an albino sparrow but couldn't be seen close up as these birds are not fed, and take flight on approach of observers. A single greenfinch and a chaffinch were also feeding on the ground among the sparrows at times.
