Yes, my initial thought. Same shape, character and carriage as the barnacles... just a pale version.

Hi Nick, this looks remarkable like one that has been with this flock for quite some time.
I first noticed it approx five years ago in the same area. I have it down as a leucitic as no other signs of hybridisation seems to be apparent on other birds.
Right or wrong.? I’m no expert.

This little fellow has been with the Barnacles at Cleethorpes boating lake for the past few mornings. Takes off with them when they fly off to graze, and returns with them at dusk.
