Hello! This little bird has been frequenting a garden in South Cerney, Glos, for the last couple of months (August through Sept.)
Size and shape similar to a blackbird (though maybe chubbier) but as you can see it has brown feathers on its head and slightly speckled down onto its chest.
I looked on here last time I saw it and saw about an illness which causes some male blackbirds to go bald but this doesn’t appear to be bald.
It seems quite curious and not easily frightened but both times I‘ve seen it I‘be only had an iPhone on me hence the low quality shots.
Apologies if this is a well known bird - the lady who lives in this house has lots of avian visitors and has never seen this one before.
