Re: Unidentified garden bird

According to my Aunt who breeds the darn things she reckons it could be a strain improver escapee Serinus canaria xx Serinus canaria domestica, she thinks someone is trying for either a Colourbred or a Song. She says she has seen white naped birds before. They are not common and she doesn't like them, she muttered something about 'bloody mustard sparras'. Polly (Aunt) [great name for a bird breeder] says "she could be wrong but that's my best bet, take it or leave it! I've got things to do." Then she put the phone down.
