Odd face

Odd face (Periparus ater)

It wasn't until I started processing this picture to upload that I noticed something going on with the feathers coming out of the side of his face.

Still can't work it out, whether he's just got a loose feather hanging down? Dunno... seems more than that.

Not sure either D. It does look strange though. Good that you got a pic of it.

I'm inclined to say, D,
after looking at a few
photographs, that the
bird's markings are
creating the illusion
of a loose feather.
What do I know, though?
A fine shot, regardless.

I wonder if it's a feather that's got stuck on his cheek? Tfs Delia.
