Albino bird: Copley

An albino bird has been sighted once over summer at a backyard birdbath in Copley. The shape and size of the bird suggested a Yellow-throated Miner, or perhaps a Spiny-cheeked Honeyeater. Plumage was entirely white, with yellow legs and yellow beak. Let us know if you spot it and please send us a photo!
