| | | Help with Bird ID please
Hello, hope you are all well, have been sooooo busy lately.
Any Ideas what this bird is?
About the size of a Thrush and spotted in May on the Isle of Mull.
It's driving my mum mad trying to ID it!!!

Do you have it any bigger? It kind of reminds me of a mistle thrush ( colour) and a cuckoo ( head & bill) at that image size. I know, bizzare  |

Looks like a member of the Thrush family to me.

Looks like a Fieldfare with that bill and differing colour from the nape - right size too- unusual in May, but there are some in summery Scotland I believe, normally east side, but relatives redwing are up there, so it seems fairly good. Someone will correct me if wrong on that!
cheers
Ken

Hmmm... I too considered a dove-like bird. I like a mystery  |
