That is an interesting sighting Richard. I have never seen a mostly white 
pheasant but many years ago I saw a melanistic hen pheasant. I just can't 
remember how much black plumage she had but it was a lot.

While it appears a lot of white animals and birds are being seen I suspect 
that it is just because many more keen observers are out looking and then we 
have the internet to inform so many people while years ago a person just 
told a few friends.
