hi all, i have a new comer to my garden and cant figure out what it is. my friend is telling me it is an albino Starling, but i wanted to see what other people think as we are novices on the bird watching front! I have several other pictures if this one is not helpful, including one of it sitting on a branch next to my roof dwelling Starling. thanks in advance! Tilly

Hi Tilly, yes it could well be an albino Starling, is it similar in size to your other starlings?

Lot to learn

Hello Tilly and welcome from me up in the very far north of Scotland, in Caithness. As Gaynors says, it looks like one. Pretty colour. Enjoy here.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
