This is my first post and I am seeking help on a bird I saw at Fowlmere Nature Reserve on a cold Saturday morning.
I saw lots of Redwings and Fieldfares and a ridiculous number of blackbirds, but one bird has got me stumped. I am new to birding so it may be be simple.
It looked about the size of a sparrow, had a yellow breast fading down to white at the bottom, there was also a small patch of darker feathers in the middle of the yellow bit of breast. It had a blueish grey head with possibly a small dark area around its eyes. I keep thinking it may be a fledgling fieldfare judging by the number of these birds around, but it did seem smaller.
Hope you can offer me some suggestions.
P.s. there was a pair of them, nowhere near the flocks of fieldfares.
Thanks for reading,
