Hi everyone!
I am new to this forum and this is my first post so if it is in the wrong place then please forgive me.
I am trying to ID a pair of birds that were nesting in my next door neighbours garden back in April/May. At first glance it looked like a pair of blackbirds with bad hair do's but then I noticed they had not so much a crest on their heads but more like tufts of feathers sticking up. The male was black and about the size of a blackbird but the feathers were not as shiny as most blackbird males. I have just assumed that the black bird of the species is the male at this point.
The one that I assumed is the female is like the blackbird female but this one has a shorter tail I think.
However,
to cut it short I did manage to take a few photos of the female and hope you can help me ID it!
Sorry but I can't seem to find a way to insert the photo's into this post so if someone can let me know how to upload the photo's I will.
Thank you!
I have recieved instrucions on how to add photo's so here go's
Thanks Delia Todd for your help with this matter!
