| Comments : | Though a pale individual it was still quite eye-catching to the naked eye amongst the pale-bellied flock. The upper parts where classic of a dark-bellied, as where the flanks, chest and dark between the legs. Lighting is a big factor to take into account when viewing these pale individuals. It's interesting to note these birds more regularly, I'm not sure if we overlooked them in the past or perhaps more of us are now looking closer at brent races in Ireland.
