I had a pair of these visit our garden today. My husband thinks its a blackbird but I don't! I'm wondering if it could be a nightingale? However, I am not a bird expert, so would appreciate some advice from someone who is!
Thank you
Hi Clarabel
It's a juvenile starling. They look quite different from the adults,which as you know are a glossy black colour with spots, at this stage of their development. Would have been nice if it had been a nightingale but you will never see one of those sitting out in the open.
Wecome to the forum.
Regards TJ

Thank you! I feel a little guilty saying it, but I'm quite disappointed! I get a little bored of seeing starlings and was so hoping it would be more of an unusual bird!
Never mind!
Thank you again
