Can anyone help identify this bird please? It was around the same size as a black bird, the flash by the eye, above the white collar was more pinky to the naked eye, sadly it doesn't show up so well on the photo. The breast is speckled. TIA
Starling
(Pardon the Scottish Accent)
Thanks
Hi, I thought that but can't find a single picture of a starling with a white collar around its neck and a flash of colour over its eye
That's only caused by the light and the camera
Thats what happens when we're not used to sunshine Eltash
No, definitely a white collar, you could see it with the naked eye, and the pinky coloured marking above it too. We get loads of starlings and it's not like those at all
As others have already said its just the trick of the light like so in the attached pic
Starlings are amazingly colourful in the right light
