| | | Bird I.d. help needed.Possible rare migrant!
Seen in South Yorkshire today.Got a few good snaps as it moved around the garden but can't find it in any bird guide.Could be an escapee but couldn't see any rings.
Many thanks for any suggestions.     |

Love it, I laughed out loud, we needed something serious................
I suspect you have there a penguin x puffin cross, possibly also related to the Manx shearwater, puffinus puffinus, - I think from googling it that it might be Fluffiness fluffiness, but I could be wrong without microscopic details.
I do go on sometimes. Sorry.
I await more expert views though. 
Brightened the day.
Cheers
Ken

Was it trying to tap dance? I think I saw something very similar in a film on TV on Christmas Day!
Try feeding it some sardines...
