Stepping out at Cape Pallarenda a day ago, the conservation park's well established but seldom so easily photographable leucistic Brush-Turkey. As striking as ever, probably female - based on lack of male markers: peaceable solitary behaviour, no mound building, never displaying extended yellow neck pouch. Makes it unlikely there'll ever be an explosion of precocious whites scrambling from an active breeding mound in the park. Meantime, enjoy the one we've got!
