Ooh, that looks bloated rather than 'fluffy' to me.
As shown when it leans forward to peck food, it almost rolls. When they fluff up the feathers would collapse back in.
Don't now the cause though.

....No.... I had one like that last year (can't find my pictures though, sorry).
I did speak to the local Scottish Wildlife Trust, and they'd not heard of any others showing that condition.
It gradually became more and more lethargic and sadly eventually died.
No others were affected.
Please keep us posted Al, and let us know what happens and if you get any more information.

Thank you very much for your comments, I have done some research on the internet there's so many different courses that it could be, I just hope I don't find the little bird on the ground dead, I will keep you posted cos it keeps popping back every so often, it has been like this now for a few days.
