Albino Guillimot

I had a quick 45 minute seawatch from Cemlyn this morning. I had nice views of 2 light phase Arctic Skuas and 3 Red throated Divers plus good numbers of Gannets, Kitts and some Manxies. I then had a quick look out to sea from my bedroom window in Cemaes and was treated to a pure white Guillimot which fluttered by before dropping down on the water about 1km away. Has anyone else seen any Albino alcids in North Wales or further afield?
