Had myself a wander around Belton House gardens and woods today. Lots of the usual suspects to be seen and I was beginning to think nothing unusual when all of a sudden something caught my eye. Sort of blackbird sized and shaped, dark coloured, white neck – no it couldn’t be could it?
I got a bit excited, and then spoiled it by looking at it through my binos.
Can you see why I may have got excited?

Dave R will like these Joe mate 🙂
I reckon you are right there!
Almost as smart as an ouzel, nice example, will be interesting to see if it develops more white feathers (or less). Dave.
