Carrion Crow with white wings - has anybody seen anything similar - just unusual pigmentation?






Hi Steve

I've noticed this a number of times with Carrion Crows on Irlam & Barton Mosses (not that far from Winton as the crow flies!). I don't know if it's a local thing or not as I don't recall seeing this in crows elsewhere.
