| Description | On 11 July 2012, a leucistic juvenile of the Common Redshank (Tringa totanus) was recorded at two newly-established reservoirs in the village of Bučovice-Vícemilice (the Vyškov district, the South Moravian region). While no leucistic Common Redshank was found in the next year, at least 49 records were summarised from 2014 to 2019. When the sex of a recorded bird was recognised, the bird was determined as a female, in 2015–2017 and 2019 her breeding was confirmed. In no cases were two leucistic birds observed at different localities at the same time, and no photographs revealed such a distinctive character in the plumage that two birds could be distinguished according to them. So it is probable that just one leucistic Common Redshank (female) occurred and bred at several South Moravian localities over the course of seven years. |
