Hi all,
I'm not an active bird watcher but am interested in nature generally and am pretty aware of what birds you can see locally to me.
I was walking the dog around the housing estate where I live early this morning and noticed what I thought was a Jay on a lawn I was approaching. When I got closer I realised it wasn't, it had a lot of white on it especially around the head and its tail feathers. It was actually around the size of a blackbird and was moving across the ground in a similar way but with this weird plumage.
I took a picture with my phone and have blown it up but it is a bit grainy.
Any ideas, is it just a discoloured Blackbird or something else?
