"Very rare' white puffin spotted in northern Scotland...


The bird was recently spotted on remote Handa Island in Northern Scotland.   The bird has just a few black feathers and a large orange bill, and the distinctive feathered creature is thought to be a result of a genetic condition called leucism.  Leucism is a rare condition of reduced pigmentation, a condition that can affect reptiles and mammals.
