Rare white puffin spotted on Scottish island of Handa

Submitting. The white puffin spotted on Handa Island Wildlife Reserve The rare bird’s unique look is due to a lack of pigmentation caused by the genetic condition leucism. It was first spotted on the island in mid-June and rangers said its late arrival and behaviour suggests it is a young bird which is not ready to breed. Erika Faggiani, Handa ranger at the Scottish Wildlife Trust, said: “This is a very rare sighting. There are only a small number of reports of leucism at seabird colonies around the UK, including one puffin which bred on Handa in 2018 and 2019 which had light brown feathers instead of black.
