In reply to Kirsty D:
I'm afraid I'm stumped :( It may well be an aviary escapee but off the top of my head I can't think of any other species with those colours. It could also be an unusual colour form of a more familiar species. With any luck it'll return for a photo - even if it's not a great pic we should be able to ID it.

Keep your camera handy, Kirsty. Or better still get your daughter on the case.

Thank you! I hope to be able to follow this up with a photo (most probably of a bird that looks nothing like I've described, but if i'm remembering wrong its a genuine mistake!!)
Thanks everyone. Hope you have a great week.
Thanks guys....three weeks it took to get the Kookaburra song out of my head, and now it's right back in there.!! :-)

I know you said you can't recall any dark areas but could it be a magpie?
