It might be Fred...
...or it might not.

He was watching one of the favoured mouse runs yesterday, and he was perched where Fred would be perched, and he wasn't nervous of me watching him through the window. But he didn't stay long enough for me to make an educated guess.

He's an adult male (3cy+), Fred is 5cy+ But there's no plumage changes as adult males age, apart from some get darker eyes. So, as the title said: "It might be Fred" ;)

The usual poor light and through the double glazing.

Oh I'm sure he's Fred Chris!!;)

Unless of course he's given his son some very good lessons.
