Can this bird be identified please - it looks similar size to blackbird. 10 have been in my garden last few mornings, pulling worms. Looks like Rusty Blackbird from N America to me!
Young Blackbird, standard not Rusty. Plumage changes as they get older. Good work with 10, we only ever get a couple
Thanks - I should have thought of that, its just that they look more slender than the adults. Yes there were 10 all the same colouring on the lawn at once, which I thought was unusual !!
Thanks for sharing this picture with us
I wondered about this too this morning - 4 young blackbirds and dad!! Very rusty breast. I have photo but not sure how to upload!
