Leucistic Bird sightings

This morning in one of the fields near the lime-kilns at Llansantffraed I saw a starling with a white-rump among a flock of about 30 other starlings. Then this afternoon near our garden I noticed a male blackbird with white wing patches. Presumably these are both leucistic birds? (having never see anything like this before, I am wondering if seeing two on one day is some sort of an omen, or if I should just get my eyes tested!)
