No, sorry, it was nothing like as big as a blackbird, and it was showing the same type of behaviour as a tit. I would say that it looked like a large great tit in shape, and the beak was the same short one as a tit.
However, your suggestion of leucism might be on the right track - I've found a picture of a
Leucistic Great Tit, which is much whiter than what we saw, but has something of the same type of apricot colouring about it, although the one we saw was much more orange.
This could be the explanation, does anyone know if it is likely to survive for very long with this rather obvious colouration?
