albino sparrow

[Lingland]

I think I may have an albino sparrow in my garden. It is cream coloured and always with sparrows and looks like a sparrow. Has anyone come across this with sparrows before.

Hi,

I saw one in my garden the other day. I was a little surprised and tried get a picture of it on my camera. I am not very good at using the camera and if I manage to suss it out, I will post the picture of this bird later on.

I see the one I consider as mine around from time to eime. I thought the others might pick on him but he seems to have been accepted ok.

You are so lucky to have this wee visitor to your garden and glad the other birds are accepting it okay.:D

Hi,

Yes, that looks like the one I saw in my garden.

Have you seen it again?

I am glad that you posted this query as I saw a white bird in amongst a whole pile of others and thought that I must have been seeing things!!!
