well there are lots watching this one, it is a albino swallow, there is said to be a one-in-18,000 chance of albinism affecting a bird, I would have thought a higher number but then I have not seen 18,000 swallows, the picture was taken by twitcher Steve Copsey, in Rhynie, Aberdeenshire, swallows arrive in Britain in spring and migrate 6,000 miles back to southern Africa in September or October, hence the phrase, 'One swallow does not make a summer'
