You do find some unusual birds your way Graham. First the Blue Tit and now this. Do you live by a Nuclear Power Station by any chance.



Smashing image. I would love one to visit our garden but if one did I'm sure our local Sparrowhawk would soon pick it off.

This bird has been living around Rufford Park for over three years now, it's obviously surviving very well. it mixes with the other blackbirds, they don't seem to notice the difference!

Thanks Barbara. It give me a lift every time I see it. I've only seen it twice, even though I go to the site every week. It's one special bird!

This has got to be the most mis-named bird ever. More so than when my daughter asked me why the female blackbird wasn't.
