Hi everyone,
My wife and I spotted a bird yesterday and I've looked on some ID sites and I can't pinpoint it. Got a few photos will my phone.
It's about the size of a blackbird. Orange beak, white face, blue/black feathers with light blue patches. It was bobbing about near a Robin and a blackbird.
This is by a path on the outskirts of Hereford, England. About 500 metres from the river Wye, houses one side, industrial units the other.

Many thanks,
James

Winner!
Thanks for the quick reply folks. Hadn't heard of that before, so I've googled it.
I used to stand in hides with my Dad, but it was all standard stuff.
Cheers for your help!

Hi James and a warm welcome to you from all the Staff and Moderators.

I've had a few Blackbirds in the garden over the years which have shown varying amounts of white feathers (Mr Spotty and Mr Big Spot were two of the most regular LOL). I never had one showing as much white as your one though.

I'm sure you will enjoy it here and I look forward to hearing your news.

King Spot?
Spot Daddy?
