It's a leucistic Blackbird.
Thats a normal Blackbird with a loss of pigmentation in the feathers.

Hi Richard,
Many thanks for the reply, and for solving the mystery. Do you know where I can find out more about it? Is it quite rare?
Best regards
Diane

Just put Leucism into a search engine and it will come up in the resullts.
It occurs in all animals and birds and is quite common but in varying amounts.
