Hi all,
http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DMS/Birds/Unknown_Bird.jpg.htm
Not a particularly good snap, but I think it shows enough to identify it.
This bird has been visiting our neighbour's garden for quite a while
(Posy the cat seems to be too much of a threat in ours).
It's about the size of a thrush or blackbird, but it doesn't have the
typical thrush spots on its pale grey underside and the colouring of its
head seems wrong. A closer look through binoculars showed that it has
barring on its rump just below the wings (a bit like on a hawk) rather
than spots.
The only bird I've found that is similar is a Fieldfare, but it doesn't
look quite right either.
Would appreciate help with identification, so TIA.
Cheers
Douglas
