Hey,
I would like some help identifying two birds. Both were photographed in Belgium (near Antwerp).
The first one is some sort of pigeon, but books I own do not contain any information regarding this sort.
The first sighting was in May, but I've seen it several weeks later at the exact same spot. It was just sitting on a window sill alone.
The second one is a tit, but I'm not sure which sort exactly. Its chest and back are a pale yellow, while the rest is a mix of white and gray.
My first guess was that it's a blue tit with some sort of condition (e.g.: leucism). However it's not a single individual. I've seen at least two (maybe three) at the same time with a similar "pattern".
According to a book I own, blue tits sometimes mix with azure tits creating a pale looking offspring. I've not been able to find a photo of this though, so I'm not sure if this could be it?
EDIT: Was expecting the links to show up as images, but the IMG tags don't work, so I've added the pictures as attachments if anyone prefers (slightly lower resolution).
