A correspondent sent me a pic of a bird in his garden in S. Wales which he cannot ID. (Nor can I.)
I presume it's an escape, but does anyone know what it is?

If it helps - we live in an urban area in South Wales, less than 200 yards from the M4 motorway. We have a small garden which is mostly lawn, and there are conifers separating our garden from our neighbours. We also have a number of trees that I know as "tree of heaven". I don't know the proper name. My wife puts out all sorts of food for the birds, mainly a proprietary mix called "Field Fayre - Wild Bird Food", and household scraps. We also have peanuts in a cage. We see a large number of sparrows, often 30-50 at a time, occasional starlings, and half-a-dozen doves. Today we also have a robin.
