I’ve seen a partially leucistic Blackbird in Kohimarama around the main road, mostly on its back.

This is another sparrow near where I saw the one I posted a few weeks ago. This one was at the "village" at the bottom of 17th Ave Tauranga. I meant to go back and try for better photos but it's not happening so I'm posting what I did get.

And another partially leucistic bird I've seen recently is this coot at Sullivan Lake Whakatane
