Hello Folks,Here's something for all you fans of our feathered friends. Each friday for 12 weeks, I will be posting a little teaser for you. Without looking in books or on the internet (i.e - no cheating), see if you can identify this bird. The following Monday, so as long as no-one has guessed it, I will post one clue. The day after I will post the answer along with some additional information for your interest. Here goes ....MYSTERY BIRD #12You won't turn your back on my stellar plumage, so late in the evening.
First thing that came to mind was a Starling, though I don't think that's right.
So, I'll carry on thinking...
MrsT, as this is the last week, couldn't we have had an easy one?!
And by 'we', I meant me LOL
A Wood Pigeon would have been lovely :-)
Have saved the best 'til last!
MrsT said she had never heard of this bird so it's going to be thinking caps on folks.
My first thought was Stellas Sea Eagle but I reckon that would be a bit obvious.

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
Mrs T, if you've never heard of what chance have we got. Therefore, I have cheated but it probably it won't do me any good. Just to see if I'm on the right track without disclosing anything, is it a bird you would find in Ethiopia and Kenya?

Every chance TJ, for there are lots of people on Communities far smarter than I, and in answer to your question: No.

And me Mrs T. Just shows cheats don't prosper, so back to the drawing board.
PS I can now tell you what I thought it might be; Star-spotted Nightjar. You can see the way I was thinking.
The only stella I know is in a bottle
With the clue could be something beginning with Dusky ?
