Brewers Blackbird in UK? (1 Viewer)

[LittleFledgling]

Hello, I have seen what looks like a Brewers Blackbird in my garden, there are 2 with beautiful black/blue chests living in the tree at the end of my garden communally with several sparrows and finches.

Do Brewers Blackbirds reside in the UK? Or could it be something else, the closest other bird I have seen online is a spotless starling however is didn't have such a feathery neck.

I'm intrigued hope you can help.

I will try to get some photos.

Brewer's Blackbird has never been recorded in Britain and I don't think it's been recorded in the wild in Europe. Might it be a Starling? A picture would be helpful if you can get one.

Hi Little Fledgeling. What colour were it's eyes, bill and legs? If you can't get a pic, then in this case these would be important things to get a clear look at to help with the bird's identity. :t:
