Leucistic european robin
Leucistic european robin (Erithracus rubecula) perched on a rock. Leucism is a condition characterized by reduced pigmentation in animals and humans. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin. Photographed in Dorset, UK in December

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Leucistic European Robin perched gracefully on a rock, creating a mesmerizing sight. The Leucistic condition, characterized by reduced pigmentation in animals and humans, is evident in this unique bird. Unlike albinism, which affects only melanin production, leucism affects all types of skin pigment. Photographed in the picturesque region of Dorset, UK during December, this image captures the beauty of nature's diversity. With its rural backdrop and stunning fauna, it epitomizes the wild charm that British wildlife has to offer. The robin's abnormal appearance adds an intriguing element to its already endearing features. Its white plumage stands out against the cold surroundings as it rests peacefully on the rock. This passerine songbird exemplifies both biology and genetics at play within our natural world. Colin Varndell skillfully captured this moment with his lens expertise from Science Photo Library. His photograph not only documents this remarkable specimen but also serves as a reminder of the wonders that can be found right outside our doors. Whether you are an ornithology enthusiast or simply appreciate the marvels of nature's creations, this print is sure to captivate your imagination and spark curiosity about genetic variations among species like the European Robin.
