An albinistic juvenile Australasian Harrier (Circus approximans gouldi) was trapped near Huntly, Waikato. Limited observation of the bird prior to capture suggests that its general behaviour and relationships with conspecifics and other species were normal. The bird’s plumage is described and contrasted with that of normal harriers and the nature of its soft parts is discussed. Other occurrences of aIbinism in the Australasian Harrier are given.
