Only today read your posts about these strange and fascinating phenomena HAZYcommunity.rspb.org.uk/.../hazy_5f00_6 identified as erithism . It's good to know about it, for if I ever saw it, I'd been more than enstranged . . . but what about the completely black or dark blue magpies? Do they maybe have the black , iridescent Magpie- feathers all over?
Hi Just joined as we’ve just had the pink breasted magpie in our garden by Brooklands School Skipton. It flew off towards Hotfield Terrace then to the railway.
